I wouldn't be so sure. Just look how many times he went nowhere with his setup in a rally despite plenty of PET. Or that was just an easy excuse to blame sth.

apparently Latvala is not a good "technical man". Some say its always much back and forth with the setup and to often it ends badly. This season may indicate that thats right

You don't need that for development of a good car. You need a driver who understands what any particular change do with the car. Very few are able of that and it doesn't always apply that fast guys understand the car, quite the contrary.

Fair points on Latvala and his set-ups..

But his does have huge experience in WRC and rallying in general, even doing events in his old Quattro.

I don't think so, he is just "too much determined", to be fair with him on some occasions just the car failed him.

Tanak lost from 2nd split to finish ,2 sec from 3 different drivers.Seems that dmacks don't keep well after some kms. Lets see at bigger stages.

No, there is no indication who is better between the two.

The person who does an assumption has to prove if that assumption is true or not, its how logic works if you are not simple or welsh.
