Got to say despite the differences in performance right across the board with the drivers, I really enjoyed this years Mexico!"Second place - back to normal" - Mikko Hirvonen Mexico 2013

I think jari-matti and hirvonen i have made big mistakes leaving ford... When I think about it, it reminds me of mcrae going to citoen from ford, he didnt really have the same pace, it seems that fords are easier to drive on the limit and that citroens and now vw (as develoved by ex citroen ogier) only suit a certain driving style. Something seems strange to me, hirvonen seemed much more competitive before he drove for citroen, and now jari-matti doesnt look comfortable, I dont think that it takes so long to adapt to a different car, not with his experience.

It doesnt matter about wages, im talking about there speed... Ok its not official Ford but m-sport has the same budget as last season and if jari was still there he would be at the front as last year.

When you get paid you have the pressure. That´s the difference.

Since this is Citroën's last year in the WRC they will properly end up trying just to defend their Manufacturers title since JML is bound to keep throwing points away in that championship. The drivers' title looks like a lost battle at the moment.Supporting Ogier in the WRC & Ferrari in F1 & Ducati in MotoGP.

Just focus on 27. Full focus. No new manufacturers will come before then, and no new ones will come if clear new regs aren't settled for 2027 by the end of the year (latest first few months on 2025)....
