Signs of a non functioning team;
- No Teamboss
- A substitute boss with little to no authority
- A driver with a wannabe teamboss feeling in his belly
- No sharing of data btw drivers
- A pissed off world champion, that can not get a car that behaves as he wants.
- A junior driver that was pushed to much to soon.
Does not sound like a recipee for success!

Surely the mental game is part of what happens when you develop as a driver with time?
Or are you saying you already need to be completely 100% confident and not let *anything* affect you *at all* in your first proper year as a full works driver in a team that is acting haphazardly at best with a poor car? Because that is completely unrealistic, maybe unless you are Loeb or Ogier.If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

To me what puts pressure on a driver is when there's a team who demands a certain level of results, or even more, when a driver is in a fight for a podium, a rally or a championship. I can only imagine the amount of stress when you're about to start a decisive stage!
But a teammate being "mean" to you? Sure, not nice, but what is he going to do? He can't hinder you on a stage. Release interviews talking bad about you? I only recall Monte, in which Neuville said Oliver should have tried to keep going despite the problems.
I don't know how much Oliver blames his performance on himself or on the car or on his teammate, but this seems waaay out of proportion.

Or Rovanpera. He is truly a freak to have the confidence and mental strength to be at the top level at such a young age. Remember the next youngest Champion was McRae - at 5 years older !
So J4MIE is correct about young Solberg, you need to cut him some slack and not expect him to be at the top level in any way yet.

Sorry.
Disagree.
By the fans and us guys on certain forums we thought and hoped he would be at top level. Else we don´t know a thing about expectations on him, I´d say.
Below average? How do you measure that? If average is Fourmaux and Loubet, he beat them in the overall standings not driving all rounds..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

Anyone got an image for those of us not on facebook? I’d need to log in to see anything past the homepage
Edit: found it on twitter:

The livery was actually designed by a guy who goes by the name Sims Racing on youtube/reddit etc. He created the livery to showcase the Fabia RS Rally2 mod for Assetto Corsa.
When I put it to him that I assumed it was Solberg’s livery for this year he responded “I guess he’ll have the same livery as Lindholm and Gryazin but with a black bonnet which has Monster Energy on it”. Good to see Solberg has decided to use the livery for real!Last edited by HKSjbg; 12th January 2023 at 13:04.
