Latvala's inability to go up the final rung of the ladder could be mental, driving style or any combination of things.

As I see it though, his biggest problem is living in Seb-land his whole career, but he's still achieved a lot. He also has a far more flamboyant driving style, which is probably less suited to today's cars.

I give him all sorts of credit for being so open, so self-analytical and for trying to do something different. Whether it works or not, he's won plenty enough to be proud of, so what's he got to lose by focusing on something new?
