He will be the greatest 'paper' champion ever, because he relies on Malcolm Wilson's team orders and tactics.

I think Prodrive expected him to be ahead of Sordo or at least match him on speed. This hasn't happend and there is simply too many driving errors (his own words).

It's a British team, they clearly want a British driver for PR purposes and there's no one better than Kris at the moment. I don't think Prodrive expected Kris to be quicker on Tarmac than Dani and until he retired in Sardinia Kris was quicker than Dani on gravel. Hold the pessimism for a while eh?

Road or booking in Penalties! Ford had to wait until it was certain that JML couldn't finish ahead of Petter for manufacturer points.

and what about Chris? I can't read twitter now

It've been quite a few enjoyable and tight tarmac rallies during the past five weeks or so. I would've hoped for Sordo to push even further but this is still a very good indication for coming seasons.

Well, it's BMW money paying and that's not "British" but I agree that despite only DNF'ing he is the best GB has to offer right now. (Don't want to go down the road that Wilslow is scoring more points ... that's just to lame an argument ;) )

Doesn't matter when he cannot finish the rally - Sordo finished 6th and that's what counts. And I am not a pessimist, but a realist.

As Sordo is not nomimated to take points,will Petter take the points of second?
