Mads Ostberg
It's a shame that Mads isn't able to go faster than what he is currently showing.
It seems to me that he has the gift of driving, and the adequate balls, not even mentionning the experience...and car.
I have a feeling that his pace notes are not precise enough. I am just looking at his driving and cannot understand his norwegian notes so not sure...but that's what it looks like to my eye anyway.
I mean by that:
1. the excessive sideways driving
2. the lack of commitment on specific fast entry corners into dead slow ones (when it's blind only).
In my view these are signs of a good driver who is unsure about EXACTLY what the upcoming corners are like and/or the distances between them (exact racing lines and braking points).
Maybe a bit of coaching would do him good.
That's my two cents.
Any ideas?http://wrcbehindthestages.blogspot.com

Indeed. That's why I think the likes of gryazin or rossel could be just as fast as he is, and thus better than half of current wrc1 drivers. Or maybe not, we will never know untill we have more...
