I don`t think that going off, which was an issue even among the best of the best, including multiple time WDC`s and Rally Sweden winners, to ruin your result on your first ever WRC event, is wise.

Agree. That also includes a certain critisized swedish Ford driver. Because he didn´t go off. In an another thread it wasn´t wise... He should have won stages and gone off according to some of the experts.

So what do we think of Emil Bergkvist appearance? I mean we have just assessed Gryazin, doing loads of miles before swedish rally, riding a better car etz. etz.
I expect similar judgement on him. Consistent, no offs (that I´m aware of) slowest car of the three brands (doesn´t count Citroen).
To me he just proved his abilities and looks like a future guy for more charges in the future."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Does anybody actually expect gryazin to be truly fast and reliable someday? He is just another rich kid who tries to make up his lack of talent by getting huge experience.

You can find a lot of posts back in this thread expecting him to win in Sweden.
I think that my expectations towards him were quite realistic but on the other hand I have totally underestimated the performance of Veiby.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Yep, it seems Bergkvist also did a great rally (just like Kristoffersson, btw) but we shouldn’t forget that despite all the events Gryazin has done throught his 4 years of rallying (he’s only 21), this was his first ever WRC outing and he wasn’t runing at home, like the guys that finished ahead. Anyway, fingers crossed for him and all the other top WRC2 contenders; it’s always great to have so many talented drivers runing the series.

I didn´t see posts saying Emil B would win. Show'em.
Only realistic from him was to be top five and he did.
Veiby unexpected, yes, but more home event for him than for Emil to be honest. Gryazin, Veiby, Kristoffersson did many rallies and had perfect preparations, not Emil. So to me he did very good. Hard for some guys to admit and say it out loud..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Is this the year Leclerc gets to end his Monaco 'jinx'? The 26-year-old has yet to stand on his home podium in five attempts, four with Ferrari, but he can end that 'jinx' on Sunday. Published May...
