Okay, my mistake, I am the idiot;)
But if you leave the optimal driving line in Finland, you are likely to crash, that's what I meant. Hirvonen has nothing won at the moment...
I agree, he is still very young and doesn't have yet the maturity of a champion (similar to lewis hamilton last championship, has the speed but not the brains of a champion).
In Finland is very important to drive in the ideal line to get good times, but when loeb passes there tomorrow there will be no marks and the road will be full of dirt and when hirvonen gets there he will find loeb's marks and the ideal line already clean, so it will be much easier to him, as today it has been that way for loeb...

The secret lies in getting more advantage than Hirvonen can catch up...

I think that loeb's better strategy would be to do that "purposely lose time" tactic to be the second on the road tomorrow, as hirvonen and latvala did on Turkey, taht gave them the one-two...

Loeb hasn't been capable of setting a big gap to hirvonen today as second car on the road, so tomorrow being the first he will loose tons of seconds...

It wouldn`t be a so good strategy if tomorrow will rain. With this strategy is on edge.

It's the same, the first car will have a thin "film" of mud in the road, that will make it more slippery and in the Finnish stages the ground is hard, so it won't be "worn" enough to make the next car slower.
However, it's a fact that the difference won't be as big as in dry conditions

If someone can beat the fins in Finland, it is Loeb.

After Didier Auriol in 1993 is Loeb`s turn to win in Finland. I hope that Mikko will be magic tommorrow, or Seb will have a big problem. If Seb win now the battle for title is over because are comming 3 tarmac events in row and than 3 gravels and that its. And form gravel events Loeb can win in Japan and New Zeeland. In GB i think Mikko will be fastest.

but you know he cant drive anymore in finland public roads since he did 160km/h or what in area what was 60km/h and if FIA or what was in charge of rally says that it goes for next rallys too then he will be off for while :P

Loeb won by 9 seconds. An incredible achivement after the long run of finnish victories. Hirvonen now leads the total standings by one point and Ford leads the manufacturer's standings by two!

Loeb is incredible indeed. Its tough as a finn to admit this, but he outclasses all finnish rallyheroes by far... He is even bigger than Shumi in F1 in my eyes..
The dude is unreal..
