Leaving as in joining another team. He says he doesn't feel old enough to retire yet.

My argument is that they would lose it all next year. The factory teams can do more to improve their cars with the bigger budgets and Ogier as it seems pretty surely would be gone. Tanak's contract...

That would just make it all the more crazy for Ford not to return though. M-Sport will have trouble to stay in contention in terms of development and they lose THE driver of the present. Ford still...

Tough call. Where is he gonna go anyway? I'm pretty sure Neuville wouldn't like to have his biggest rival in his own team, Latvala seems to have a real downer around Ogier plus Seb already ditched...

Besides they seem to have a good chemistry between each other. Tanak helped fix Ogier's car between stages in Corsica and Evan's in Argentina.

Yeah probably. But I'm pretty sure he hit the bank because he was pushing like mad. He needs an immaculate drive now.

He should go appeal against the bank he hit.

Must've hit something.

Do we think that Malcolm is cruel enough to take away Ott's maiden victory in favour of a massive points gain for Ogier? (Given it still looks like this tomorrow)

If I was him I wouldn't wanna...

It's more like a footballer going to the ground in the box like a dying swan after an obviously unintentional contact.

His mechanics "forgot" to install his mirrors after a service. If you have the capability of critical thinking you know that they just left them off to gain time for repairs (since missing to put...

It so isn't. I can't remember any time anyone got their time corrected for that. It's bad luck like a puncture. Equal treatment for everybody. This is a load of BS.

Yes 2007/8 Ford had Grönholm and Hirvonen in their main team (in which you were only allowed two drivers) and Latvala in the Stobart (B-team) car. The other Stobart car was piloted by Henning Solberg...

So was Camilli. Tidemand and Suninen came awfully close too.

Can somebody tell me why I always frantically await the shakedown times eventhough deep down I know they are not really anything to go by?

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

With all due respect, how can you say that while calling out everybody who has a bias towards Ford without it being evident to yourself that you are applying double standards?

Well Latvala is also pretty inconsistent. No doubt he is a top notch driver but then he is very dependent on his confidence. The win in Sweden was impressive given that the Yaris does not seem very...

I agree with Neuville/Ogier/Meeke but unless they get struck with issues I'd expect Tanak, Evans and Sordo all to be quite a bit faster than Latvala.

Oh I see :D

I just can't see it happen this year either. Sordo is a very reliable point scorer for the manufacturers and you can't write off Paddon, he's got the speed and his current bad patch I suspect is just...

What will be interesting to see is the comparison between Hanninen and Lappi. If Hanninen gets clearly beaten by a young kid on a consistant basis it does look dire for him. At the moment it could...

Thanks for the insight guys.

I want to quickly explain my ignorance. I started getting into the WRC at 2000ish. I liked it because of the big competition between Subaru, Peugeot and Ford and also...

So what are you guys expectations considering Lappi? I have to admit I don't know very much about him.
