It certainly had the potential to be very serious.

I woner why Dave has to have these minor celebrities in tow for their rally coverage. Robert Lewellyn (quite annoying), then that Sean bloke (not too bad) then Jo Caulfield tonight (one of the most annoying women on the planet).

I don't mind so much the celebrity as such. I just wish they would get someone that likes rallying or has even seen it before.

I feel really sorry for Latvala - he went into the rally not even wanting to have split times relayed to him. I believe he was under strict orders from MWM not to stuff it or he's out. No pressure there then.

He seems such a nice bloke, perhaps he should adopt Mathew Wilsons approach and plod round, much as he did in T cars and F.Renault.....

Think he's just a bit keen at the mo. Just remember a similair situation with a certain Mr. Vatanen a few (lot) of years ago.

As Stuart Turner commented at the time, 'It's a lot easier to slow a driver down than to get him up to speed.'

Perhaps if the Focus was inherently a bit faster then Loeb would be easier to beat.


Question : Just how does Loeb do it? Amazing driver.
