Actually I'm right handed so should I give it away, I wouldn't be much of a driver. However, I'd give what's left of my brains. ( it's not much though )Quote:

He should have just stuck with "hey I have an awesome opportunity here to have some fun competeing at the highest level. If i manage to crack it one day as a top driver then that would be wicked but at the moment im just concentrating on learning the ropes and becoming the best driver i can be" and thats it! Theres nothing wrong with being confident in your own abilities and thinking you could one day be the best, but that doesn't mean you need to broadcast it! Keep it to yourself man!
I think its great he is out there living his dream, wish i could be doing it! but by making a fuss he now has to put up with the critics, thats his problem, not the critics
I totally agree with you. The problem was the way as Matthew was shown when started the WRC in 2006. The future champion. With so many young drivers that show big skills, everybody was waiting some good rallyes from Matthew and that didn't happened (many of us already knew that was dificult to happen).Quote:

I believe there would be many forum members quicker than him if they had similar WRC experience.. Its plain to see that Mathew just doesnt have the raw speed required.
I used to say give him time.. but hes had more than enough of that now and I totally agree with JAM that he just doesnt have it.
I know if it wasn't for Mathew Wilson there wouldn't even be the Stobart team, so basically he isn't taking anyone else's seat.
So nothing agaisnt "tourist" drivers as I would do the same if had the cash required but one thing is for sure IMO, Wilson has no talent for WRC so maybe his dad and everyone around him should stop claiming he's the next big thing in WRC cause that's what the fans find a bit annoying.
Similar is the case with Juan Pablo Raies, he claims to be the best rally driver in South America yet he couldn't beat regularly N4 cars with a 2003 WRC Impreza
:dozey: Never ending story here. :s mokin: recurrence, repeats.......repeats....... :down: :s nore:
The story will last maximum 4 years again(the length of Wilslow contract with daddy in WRC) :p :
I might be bit in the dark, but i haven't really seen or heard Malcom setting his son up as the big one. Most interviews i've seen has him downplaying expectations and mentioning only smallish positive steps.Quote:

I already told you that Stobart exists while exist drivers with money to rent the cars, not only because Matthew. Last year you had Luis Peres Companc, Kosti katajamaki and Jari Mati Latvala to runs the Focus WRC04 and altely the 06. This year you have Latvala and Henning Solberg, and as you see Wilson is not nomitanted to score points in some events. Without Wilosn the Focus04 were running. It's only a question of money... if money appear the cars run. You still can't understand that? Before Matthew was the future WRC champion, now Matthew is the responsible for having a n. 2 Ford Team... this is like a Joke. About Raies... the best sul american driver?? Only in his own mind.Quote:
