    Who the **** you think you are? Seriously. Calling a four-time World Champ a "nobody"? Your input to any topic here is pathetic at best. You're nothing but a joke.

    N.O.T is omnipotent. He has the power to type things and press "ENTER".

    N.O.T is N.O.T. He has an acerbic way of saying things sometimes which depending on your viewpoint can be close to the truth. In this case, while I don't agree with his choice of words, I agree that Toyoda is the boss.

    Also, my interpretation of him being a nobody is in relation to Makinen not being exactly renowned as a team manager, car builder or team principle. He drove a car some time ago and was successful but that doesn't make him instantly a success in this role. The jury is still out.

    I'm not going to waste any more valuable space for that pathetic loser, but as for Mäkinen, he did have somewhat successful run as a team manager/car-builder with N/R4 Subaru's after ending his hall-of-fame-career at the end of 2003.

    So as he's definitely not a renowed WRC team principle (yet), it's not like this would be something completely new for him. Usually companies as big as Toyota don't give their brand and project worth millions to some novice (i.e. without making sure beforehand that this person X has the ability to deal with assignment). Let's wait and see...

    I´m pretty sure that when Prodrive was official MINI team, they had Subaru posters in their wall, also when M-Sport was official FORD team they had pictures of MG Metro...

    I think Tommi should take Petter instead of Mads

    Really pleased for Juho. I think having been involved with the development of the car from the beginning will make all the difference, vs. sporadic appearances in Fiestas or the works Hyundai.

    Very happy for Juho. He deserves. Funny see same type of comments about Juho that we readed about Meeke some time ago.
