Very unusual quote from Malcolm, instead of saying how well they have done etc, he is basically saying "We really are in trouble now".Quote:

Over hearing a conversation that JML was having with a journalist outside of service. Sounded like nothing has been signed but offers have been made? Quotes from JML "when you have a one year contract and you have a bad year its not good" "** team have offered a 2 year deal **** have offered 1" " I can work with anyone" " Malcolm has done a amazing job to make a competitive car with a small budget"Quote:

I think with beginning in NORF everything can turn around. It should, because when did a team have such unluck...? And it canīt go on forever no matter how some of you guys dislike JML, MW...
I think it is more due to bad choice of drivers and also the way they handle them rather than bad luck...
You can't keep having bad luck - when it keeps happening, it suggests there is a fundamental problem with the car/team/drivers/management.
Agree, after Portugal I said also "lack of luck at Ford" but now.....Quote:

For VW even Mikkelsen ready for 2nd seat.
Solberg - I think he is still capable, even with some stupid mistakes this year.
Solberg /Sordo - too early to speak about but no better choice for MW for 2013. Tanak is the new Latvala. Not possible to finish a rally if in all the corners the back of the car arrive first.
I think Novikov more more capable also for factory seat (Ostberg for sure)
Guys just watch Jari's accident in NZ...No mistake from him...Petter took the hard and Sordo as well who said that all their info lead them to hards...All in all. for me is pure bad luck...All the events that ford could have made it are gone almost...Tarmac is coming and as good as fiesta may be they won't reach Loeb....
I said the same in Portugal - but bad lack, magic stones, etc always with Latvala? He is overdriving the car a lot, but I'm not sure that with this style he is quicker.Quote:
