Citroën is so much better and easily to drive that you do not need to take same kind of risks than Ford drivers have to take...Quote:

So instead of having two third place finishes to keep getting points on the board, he is now possibly seventh if he can get to the end. You just can't get away with that in the championship these days if you want to think about challenging for it.
There was no way that he could make up 1:36 on Hirvonen in 70km, it just wasn't going to happen and at the split before he went off he was only (only!) 15 seconds up.
And all that for just three extra points??? :confused:
I sincerely doubt that you know anything about motorsport history.Quote:

JML thinks he can do the same but I dont think he can the way modern rallies are.
Fast and consistent is why Loeb won 8 times.
There needs to be a 'dislike' button on the forum for posts like this....Quote:

Saying now JML was distracted by Novikov off or avoiding him and it was bad luck not risky driving ...

It's the same info as the quote of Malcolm Wilson earlier post on this forum.
He lost concentration and was distracted before, in Monte Carlo for example and he crashed....Quote:

He shouldn't have been going that fast anyway.
