Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2015

[AL14]

Barbosa has a arrogant style, but he's a competent leader. It was him that put Portugal back in WRC and now, even with a perfect rally scheme on the south, he choose the successful return to the north, that many thought it was risky. I'm sure he's the kind of guy that can stop the implementation of WRC promoter crazy ideas, like the shootout final day, helping to keep the sport closer to it's roots.

On this Bertelli issue, he knows what he's saying, otherwise he would be a easy target to Prada family lawyers...

Is he a competent leader? It depends of what he is leader of. If he is leader of "portugues patriots that miss Salazar" he is a competent leader, if he is a leader of a worldwide organization than the last thing you should say is a stupid offence to a country that is a part (and made the history) of that organization, and if you want to explain your point of view in a controversy you don't put it personal, speaking about families, mothers and so on. Just explain the situation, otherwise someone can think you are just a windbag and maybe Bertelli is right.

You are making only assumptions about the fact he is against shootout so I don't give credit to it (with all due respect to you) and in any case it doesn't change anything.
One last thing, the fact he "knows what he's saying" makes only things worst.
