In this race he was with new pilot...read about rallies how important is work between driver and pilot which he doesn't have in this rally. He won WRC2 this year in his first year
He will never stop I am guarantee you! He was born with the wheel and left country when he was 14 !!!
Living in Italy without parents in the friend and cart team owner house.

The statement is coming directly from the team and the pictures from the photographer on site that witnessed the incident.

Not sure whats bad about this article.

I like that English sarcasm you can always step back and said...."ooo I didn't mean that"
