not 100% sure but maybe it was the italian driver Paolo Rossi
Gigi Galli if I remember correctly
It was Galli, yes. I don't know about his co-driver crying though...
It was Galli who smacked his co-driver on the helmet, and i think it was the co-driver for pons on rally Germany who was crying as he got lost on the notes and pons was giving him hell and they went off!
also didnt gali throw a bottle (not in anger) but to his co-driver who missed to catch it and broke his nose
That's for public..
What about Delecour?
He didn't hit the codriver, just shouted at them!
Gb 2002..
And don't forget Pons and his poor co-driver a few years ago in Germany.

I just love that he points at his codriver even before the car comes to an full stop :D
Pons was the one who went crazy at his co-driver in Germany i think.. If you were wondering who that was, his codriver did cry i think
Someone should add this moments togehter for a co-driver recruiting movie
" Is youre life getting borred? Become a rally co-driver, never a dull moment, and many social contacts with youre teamate""
Ok, we got to have a codriver payback also, Kaj Lindström giving driving lessons to Tobias Johansson :)

I also remember Kaj telling Thomas Radstrom once how impressed he was of his driving after a crash, but he seems to go easy on Kimi :)
Sorry it was Denis Giraudet who was Radstroms codriver coming to think of it...
He deserved one kick..
I also remember an old onboard from Armin Schwarz at the '93 RAC Rally. Peter Thul was his one-time codriver for that rally and lost his notes in the middle of the stage. He then sounded like the nerves really got to him and Armin was not amused.
But the one your looking for is Galli, as people said before, at least he's the only one I know that actually hit his codriver.
Which was the citroen driver who got angry big time with the co driver and then crashed it?
Pons I think..

That's the one!Quote:

But he was correct to Del Barrio and didn't fire him after that rally..
French friends - What exactly did Delecour say, sorry, scream at the co-driver?Quote:

That's NOT what he said NOT, it's clear you canNOT speak French.Quote:

Try NOT speaking things you do NOT know NOT.
(which would of course me silence and that would be trop bon!)
(dix fois trop bon)
I have given a co-driver a little wake up tap on the side of the helmet....he snivelled a bit later---
i confused the nubers butQuote:

well he either says dix =10 or deux in french at the start...and cinq = 5 or cent = 100 at the end...so i might be right once again. I don't speak french but i would like a clarification from a french speaker.
trop tard = too late in giving the note....
well google translate gives
" Putain de bordel!! C'était trop tard!! Tu me l'a annoncé dix fois trop tard. Dix fois trop tard. Cent fois trop tard. "
"****ing hell! It was too late! You told me about ten times too late. Ten times too late. One hundred times too late."
so i think i got it right...

It should be evidence of 2 things: your have a right to an opinion, but your opinion can be flat wrong.
And you are an arrogant person that should learn some humility who you are blabbering about things you don't know...
And gimme a break putain de bordell, you cannot figure that out yourself???
Translated as f***ing *ell?
Try again.
actually i had my sister translate that for me back in the day when it happened and she spent 10 years in Paris and Grenoble so my only question was if i remembered correctly what she told me it meant.....
My arrogance feeds of people that wait in line to prove i am wrong....to this day the line is pretty big...so wait your turn please....others are infront of you..
Stéphane Prevot has also done once with Verhoestraete in Belgium . Prevot said don't cut like in the notes and Laurent Verhoestraete didn't listen and almost crasched after he had cut the corner . Prevot was FURIOS
Jan, give the guy a break, he's keen and knowledgeable about rallying and doesn't go for the X Games Block is teh best!!!!111111 crap that some seem to believe. So his french isn't perfect.... who cares?Quote:

In fact, "trop tard" doesn't mean "too slow" (="trop lent"), but "too late"Quote:

Yeah, he got what he deserved..
