Of course, it's not just the driver but if he has least points of three despite starting on highest number of rallies, the problem is in the driver. This discussion about so obvious thing is pointless so that I will not continue repeating myself.

Petter didn't crash as much as a privateer because he was paying the bills. With M-Sport paying the repair bills he pushed harder to beat Loeb fact.
Why did he finished 3rd in 2010 as a privateer??Quote:

Markko told something like this once.. When you are not able to become WC in fisrt couple of years as a factory driver then there is very little hope that you ever will.
Look back ti the history.
1. Solberg was Champion in 2003.. after that.. 9 years of trying
2. Burns became Champion in 2001. after that.. some trying but no more success + cruel fait (R.I.P)
3. Gronholm was Champion in 2000 and 2002.. after that.... some years of trying but no more success
4. Mäkinen was Champion 1996-1999.. after that.. some years of trying but no more success
5. McRae was Champion in 1995.. after that.. many years of trying but no more success (R.I.P)
6.. The list continues as it started..
Well then we can hope that Latvala and Hirvonen will soon leave WRC 'cos they'te in works teams for years and didn't succeed. :D
Ford did lots of weird tactiks this year, i think that also count alot for both Petter and jml, as they try to do the best of it after the (team) error.
I didn´t say that. But Petter still has the speed in a whole rally to win.Quote:
