But in ERC he was again driving very fast and making more mistakes as this was his was of learning. Before every rally he says he wants to drive in a good rhytm and without mistakes. And the pace is getting better and better, but mistakes are still there. I hope at some point he will stop increasing the pace and then there will be less mistakes.
That is where he has made his bigger mistake in my opinion. Thinking that way. I've always believed in his potential but he should have used these 2 years in WRC to learn, make experience, and managing his pushing moments. A mid-long term plan. I'm pretty sure that now, with Matton and Wilson desperatly looking for new drivers he could have had his chance. It's sad because unlike Raikkonen or other privateers he had hopes and real chances due to his undeniable talent.
