No need I suppose they want to fit some logistics/race budget then.

Now that it is official that VW have signed both Sebastien Ogier and Jari Matti, both young drivers with 2year plus 1 option, where does this leave Andreas Mikkelsen in the pecking order? Officially he hasnt signed with VW but I guess we all expect it, or will he(or his management) feel that he would be better off as number 2 in a Hyundai. I wonder if 2014 line up will be Ogier / Latvala in VW and Hyundai Sordo / Mikkelsen? Just a thought.

Mickkelsen will be seen in a PoloWRC during the season. Don't think he's going anywhere.

I don't understand who will be the number one driver in that team. They're both the fastest driver in the sport, but I don't think either are going to give each other leeway. But I guess it does give a very good chance for the manufacturer championship which is most important.

[noel157]

Who needs number ones? At least they can't take each other off...
I think Ogier will be regarded as No 1, or in PR terms, they'll both be equal No 1s.

Capito said somewhere there will be no No.1 driver at the start of the season.

Later, the one with more points and chances for a champion will get more support from the other one
