Rally Sweden 2012

It is not Latvalas fault. Just bud luck

[mm1]

is N.O.T and SlowSon the same person?

It looks like SlowSon is on another league.

Come on Latvala!!!

[Viking]

After Mikkelsen had changed tyre he took back 16sec on PG and 12sec on Ogier in one split!!

[kiprazas]

why no time after andersson at ss22 ?????

[A FONDO]

The puncture came in a really unexpected place and most propably also many other drivers hit the same rock so this is definately not a typical Latvala's mistake. These just happen.

this rock was hit only by latvala, solberg and mikkelsen, people who very often make stupid mistakes. why did nobody else hit it ?

[darkstar]

wow, now its getting exiting! if hirvonen pushes like crazy, he might catch latvala in the powerstage. and will petter try to fight back, even if he has no chance?

also mikkelsen could catch up to andersson again.

Continuing with the 2005 Japan example the rock back then was kicked from the side of the road into the line by the preceding car.

Here the running order was Solberg-Hirvonen-Latvala-Mikkelsen, only 1 out of these 4 didn't hit it. The rock could have been dug out by Østberg, moved by Solberg (puncture), the moved again by Hirvonen without puncture....

Yes it's speculation, but saying that 3 drivers at once made stupid mistake... that's more like dreaming.

[tfp]

I think Hirvonen is on a charge...
