Regarding Hänninen, I think Tommi said it well in the recent Finnish newspaper article, that while it's unfortunate that Hänninen has crashed a few times, he's also had really bad luck when crashing. Corsica was simply bad from that point of view, no doubt, but the mistakes he made in MC and Sweden were really small ones - they just happened to be so costly. If you compare the two mistakes (just purely as driving errors) to the ones Ogier made in same rallies for example... I don't think they were any worse as driving errors. But hey, let's just say that he clearly doesn't have the skills
Well first of all, that was not meant the way it sounded. I didn't mean he has no skill... Just that he's overdriving it. To be honest I think you understood that.

To call the crashes so far unlucky is to look at it with rose colored spectacles. He braked way too late both in Monte Carlo, in Sweden, twice and in Corsica... Twice. Mexico was not great but he was sick so it was understandable... Also the car suffered from overheating.

Of course Tommi will say the political thing in the media. When was the last time you heard a team boss say "He's crap and he makes too many mistakes"? You don't (ok except Penasse with Neuville a few years back).

Regardless how you look at it, he crash too much and he did at Hyundai too and he did in the ERC too.

If I were Tommi, I'd be disappointed... Very disappointed. He has been given a big chance with a full season contract and so far he has mostly wasted it.
