Malcolm Wilson awaits the final stage

Jari-Matti Latvala and Mikko Hirvonen, the two drivers of the Ford team, occupy the first two places in the Rally from Sardinia with two minutes ahead of Petter Solberg and Sébastien Loeb before the last two specials.

Latvala?s current seventh position in the World Championship standings already deprives him of any hope of a title. On the other hand, Mikko Hirvonen, third twenty points behind Sébastien Loeb, maintains the objective of winning his first title at the end of the season.

For Malcolm Wilson, if the interest is to have his two cars in the first two rows, a decision to advantage Mikko Hirvonen cannot be ruled out: “The important thing is to see our two cars enter first and second position. For the moment, I want to see them pass the next two stages (SS15 and SS16) without problems. We will assess the situation before the last special. »

To the audience, Mikko Hirvonen made no secret of the fact that he was impatiently waiting to hear the Briton?s decision?
