this pseudo-reporter that follows the wrc for decades and still hasn't got a clue is something else... its really amazing.

he should include team ratings as well to see if he has any balls critising m-sport.

At this stage it's hard to know if he gives such moronic ratings because he is incompetent, or just to generate clicks / discussion. I hope for his sake it's the latter, but either way, you can't help but get the feeling that pretty much anyone else could do a better job.

Well, to be fair he's not really a rally expert. He came into the sport from a marketing/ promotion background...

How can you become a rally expert then? Only by being first a driver?

You must born to race.

The same as being an expert in any subject........

Being a sportsman doesn't automatically mean you know everything; we see that quite often in lots of sports coverage/ analysis. The ex professional talking nonsense is a regular occurrence.

The problem with him is that while not having any background in rallying and in many years being close to almost everything in rallying he has not evolved even close to expert level.
While even recently I have started to agree on some of his thoughts, he is still way way way off and mostly talking nonsense.

That's what does it for me. He's been paid to be around the sport for years, and at times he comes out with the sort of crap someone watching their first rally would be embarrassed to say...

"- Let's try to make the right decisions in the tests now. It didn't work out in Greece - it went wrong on all of us, and it wasn't just the drivers' fault, says Rovanperä."
(Google translated, hopefully there is no "lost in translation" issue here)

So Rovanperä makes critical and public statement, that team made mistake. Something new for me.
