If he's disappointed with Tanak, I don't know what he would say about Matthew if he weren't his son...

If he wasnt his son he wouldnt have driven anything bigger than a wheelbarrow.

But Malcolm is right to be furious about Tanak in whom he invests lots of money. He doesnt have pressure for results and still crashes several times a day.

Ok was his fault,and he had to finish,as nobody asked him to push and win,but at his 4th rally at wrc you can t ask to much.Neuville is at same situation, but Yves didnt make such an interview.To put extra stress this time in not going to help imho.
Malcolm have to be more sensible about his interviews and more fair.Jari according to Malcolm was the man who will beat Loeb,but after the 4exits from 5 rallies while he has 100 wrc starts didn t see such a comment...

I was making more a joke on Wilson than anything.... specifically the "gifting' of a WRC car and years of support to his son, which while the norm in motorsports, the combination of the publicised "5 Year Plan" and the often embarrassing reults never propted a public scolding from Papa-son.

Malcolm's management all these years sucks.Why do you expect something better in his interviews???The same brain desides and for the management and for the interviews!!!

No. Tanak has the speed , maybe not like Latvala but definitelly better than slowson. reliability to be improved. Time will tell

Estonian guys, plz tells us - who pay for Tanak? Whose money he use?

The fact that Tanaka has speed, he proved in Finland, ask Hänninen. But maybe he has the same problem as JML, the only way he knows how to run is flat out.

He's contracted with M-Sport, so I guess it's Malcolm's money :)
