    I would be very surprised to see Loeb and Ogier in the same team in 2011.
    I guess Ford could be (in no order) Mikko, JML, Seb V2.O, and P.G.
    Citroen DS3's for Loeb, Sordo, Kimi, and Petter.
    On totalrally radio last week they were confident that Petter wouldnt get a DS3, but I guess they were planning on Citroen being 2 x Seb, Sordo and Kimi when they said that.

    Well - I wasn't that surprised by that bit to be honest. I think I remember Quesnel already saying that Kimi has a chance in the manufacturer team next year, if 3 car teams are allowed. Yes Ogier is thier 'project' but Kimi is the one who brings fame and attention to Citroen. Kimi coming 5th would attract more press and interest for Citroen than Ogier winning a title.

    They are not dumb. They know that Loeb won't drive forever and that's exactly why they grew Ogier from nobody to first-class star. Kimi is only short-time marketing tool and since they are able to run let's say 5-6 cars in one moment thanks to PH Sport, there is no problem to have Kimi still in the team. They made Ogier to his current skills to keep winning with French champion.

    Exactly, Kimi would not been driving in rally if not because of red bull, he is not Citroens choise in any way. I agree 100% with Mirek's post, also I dont belive for a second that Ogier would be that stupid that he would go from a winning car to Ford, especially when he has accived nothing sofar, the time to collect the cash comes later when he can do it with his own terms, yet he cant.
    But sure this tread has been very amusing sofar.

    in rallying nothing is impossible,if ogier feels hes a man enough to stand alone its better he makes his move now than wait more years for good old loeb to retire for him to be allowed a shot at the title.

    Exactly, that is another point. Ford seems to be someway behind Citroen now and there is no particular reason to think that is going to change next year, although Ford maybe had a head start in developing the Fiesta's chassis first as an S2000.

    Surprised you consicder Ogier's achievements as "nothing" though?
