WRC » Solberg: I can do the job for BP Ford

henning is only 2 points ahead of jari in the standinhs and has never a wrc win

If Matty WIlson can have 5 years and not have a win, then surely Jari ( The biggest threat to Loeb and Mikko )deserves at least another year, even if he is destroying cars all the time. Go you crazy Finnish ****** !!!

Sebastian,

I'm sure Villagra is a good driver, and he has turned in some respectable performances in the WRC. However, you do him an injustice comparing him to Matt Wilson - Most drivers could beat Matt with similar equipment.

TAZ, you probably know a lot better than me the carrier of Matthew Wilson... and you can make an opinion about it.
But calling muppet to Federico Villagra (munchi's) I believe is too much... The last couples of rallies were they compete against each other for a position, Villagra won... with less WRC experience than Matthew, beside Villagra is seven times Argentina's Champion (remember that the best rally drivers of the american continent are argentineans).

I know that Henning was pitching for JML's job. He believes that he could be faster given a factory spec car. Whether or not he could is a completely different matter and I don't think he'll be given the opportunity anyway. I think that he has the potential to be a really quick driver and is often underestimated. He is being held back by 2 things which could be easily fixed. 1) Lack of fitness. Whatever he says, he's not as fit as he needs to be and 2) psychologically he gets hung up on small problems which anyone else would ignore, but distract him from what he should be concentrating on. Nothing a good sports psychologist and personal trainer can't fix. Not sure he wants it enough though.

Just throwing this out there but how would Chris Atkinson go in a Focus. He showed last year he had the beating of Petter in equal cars and as you are all saying you would like to see petter in the focus, would atko not be better???

Nick and Mikkola,

I agree with your theories, as I mentioned above,

I think that Henning has meerly said that If he had a proper Factory Focus with testing he could beat Danni in Finland. There is nothing wrong with that.

I think what has confused things is that if you look on this wrc page with all the stories, at the top, Crash.net has added a title which says Henning is eyeing the factory seat of Jari Matti.

Thats what has gotten us all thinking that he is after a seat with the BP team at the cost of Jari Matti.

I agree with Mikkola, Henning was not quoted as saying he wants a BP Ford Works car, he just said he wants a "proper car". The heading of this article is just Crash trying to stir people up. Otherwise known as trolling :P

Sorry Mikkola you are wrong,

The heading that we have all remarked about actually says that Henning is eyeing Jari Mattis place in the BP Ford team.

Perhaps your right in that Henning is meerly saying that if he had a Factory Focus with the same testing deal as the BP drivers, he could beat Sordo in Finland and help the BP team beat Citroen.

I dont doubt that, Henning usually goes well in Finland so he is possibly right, the more pressure Ford put on Citroen the better. Maybe Malcolm will do this, it doesnt sound unreasonable. Its what I would do if I was Malcolm right now.

its a shame Jari has fallen over and grazed his knees again, he could of been on for a win in Finland.

I might be wrong here but I think some of you took Henning's comments as he wants to replace Latvala, what I think he is saying is given a full 09 spec car and the same test as Mikko and Jari he could help the BP team take points off Citroen while still driving for the Stobart team.
