I would like to see J-M L in a C4, my guess that a small part of the problem is that he is 'overdriving' the Focus, a car that is in my opinion not as fast as a C4. There are some other fundamental problems in his notemaking, also his natural speed and mental block against braking. I do genuinely agree that he needs a change from M-Sport Ford, that relationship has reached its peak and I'm afraid its downhill now. And a talent like JML should not go to waste, give him a Citroen. Also maybe tempt Kaj out of retirement..........?
Citroen already have Rautencrash "modifying" their cars :D
I don't think they can manage to repair 2 cars every rally :D
What happens to Rautenbach after the car fire? I thought C4's were in short supply.
I believe that too, most of the times crashes happen after JML is posting better times then Mikko.Quote:

Eventually however Chris got it together and last year consistantly outpaced Sohlberg which is why he is being considered a better prospect for Ford then Latvala, Jari-Matti could do the same, but on the other hand his time is definetly fast running out.
It's now or never for sure, if he doesn't turn it around then Atkinson or Sohlberg will take his drive next season, 100% for sure.
Who must be criticised??? Jari Matti or Malcom with his management and strategies of junk.....
To beat Citroën and Loeb it will be necessary and irrefutably much more that, on one hand, good cars and on the other hand, suspicious tactics imposed on pilots whose talent is tarnished by pitiable management.
let Jari-Matti learn quietly, time and experience will reveal all his talent.......
Time's up for Latvala? No, more like Malcolm.
Jari is doing his best to push an inferior car to the limit in order to be competitive. I love seeing that kind of spirit in motorsports! If anything Malcolm should find a way to make the Fords attain a better level of performance. I don't want to see another Mikko in the WRC just chugging along and being content with 2nd. JML is in it to win and good for him!
Maybe Ford needs a bail out from the UK Government like Citroen has got from the French government in order to make their cars competitive.Quote:

I'm sure some of those SIX BILLION EUROS will trickle down to the rally team! :p
P.S. this is the second time Citroen has had a major bailout, they went bankrupt in about 1974. Let them die I say, along with GM and Chrylser.
More likely Ford needs to find a Seb clone to solve their woes
