    yes i understand,but every year after Finland his pace is good.Every year at 2nd half he dont crash,every year at 2nd half he settle for second if he sees that he can t much Ogier.
    So nothing new if he keeps this good pace for the remaining rallies.
    The problem is the 1st half of rallies.Thats what the mental expert haven t manage,in conjuction with Latvala.

    Agree the mental expert didn't manage to accomplish his mission but not that he is that better in the second part. This is valid for this season but if you compare points form first to second parts in other years you will not see too much difference. I also think his problems are not only in the mental side.

    Latvala is just natural born loser... he can win events but not championships.

    another failed project like Hirvonen brought to you by none other than the finish manager system.. producing failures since 2003.. ask your local manager for a brochure on our great services and products.

    I'm happy to have seen all these Finnish "failures" in WRC... In your opinion, who is the better alternative for Latvala?

    I want him to do well but I'm not some blinkered Evans apologist. I don't think he's impressed much at all during his WRC career and I have been critical of him - but I'll say what I said the other day - let's give credit where it's due.

    You can't start adding on stages that didn't exist and you can't predict what would happen in them and brand that as 'fact'. There's no reason why Evans couldn't have put time into, or at least matched Latvala, in those horrendous conditions on Friday. But those stages never ran so we have what we have.
    Adult reaction about his perfomance!

    Another example of stupid comments by NOT. Even if he's right (he won't be a champ), Latvala is still the best next thing after Ogier.
    And why such a comment after a fair win... NOT is boring in his comments and he knows it, that's why he screams louder and louder but without any good points, it's becoming more and more pathetic...

    Surprised, but at least he didn't crash.

    Yeah.. I always say I don't have a big imagination so I have a hard time understanding when people say " Häcki Hälarna deserved this 3rd place!“ and the pitiful pools of piss who chose one driver and pour their shit from their mouth endlessly "he doesn't belong in WRC"

    Everybody gets exactly what they earned.

    Amazingly simple.


    I always said about any competition "Don't worry, the results will take care of everything"
    Doesn't matter who somebody is, doesn't matter the car--if its the best WRC car or a clubbie Clio----the results will take care of everything"

    It is a RALLY after all..and that means it is fundamentally a different intention than any other type of car competition...to rally means to get together, to concentrate what is presumed is a lot of individuals/crews..

    By these golem's "logic" if Kubica doesn't "deserve" or "belong in WRC" then why don't these whiner people complain and demand every driver behind Kubica on any SS drop out, and enter a monastery. because if he doesn't "belong in" then anybody behind him doesn't either..


    But that is granting them the ability to think, and a familiarity with rudimentary logic, something they do NOT have.


    Such a shame the format was so damaged by the SS losses..

    I saw some link to older---1980s Tour de Corse---1100+ km SS.
    That was a rally!

    I hardly ever agree with NOT, but this time I have to. The great manager has not produced since Tommi Mäkinen. What he has achieved, is to block other finnish talents route to WRC.
