Mikkelsen? Someone like him has to ask himself whether a Toyota in its development year or a Polo that likely won't receive any in-season updates is the better option for 2017, then hope his performances in it can earn himself something more long-term for 2018.

Interesting article: https://www.rallye-magazin.de/wm/art...ueberraschung/
It says that Nasser Al-Attiyah tries to form a private team entering two Polo WRC´17 next year. It´s based on the fact that Qatar holds 17% of the VAG-group. Teammate should be Sébastien Ogier. He is interested in that because the Ford and Toyota don´t seem to be competitive.
Normally "rallye-magazin" is quite well informed...

Ogier "cannot guarantee" WRC 2017 participation
"You always look for a works team, that is where [there is the] most guarantee of the future, my priority is to get stability in what I do and I think this stability you only get with a works team.
so no to m-sport then? Citroen or sabbatical?

Andreas would be a good team mate alongside Tanak at Msport. Wilson should do that if Seb joins Citreon

Tommi has said that 13.12 is revealing day of Yaris, not a day for driver announcements...
This time he means that they can possible tell drivers names before that!

Neither one of them is coupé by historical definition. It's not about small windows or sloping roof. The main attribute from historical point of view is 2-door bodyshell and none or very limited space for rear passangers. In fact both of these are just hatchbacks with a bit sportier look. Veloster has even door for rear passangers which the I20 3D doesn't have.
But that's not the point anyway. Nowadays the coupé is so broad term that it's used by marketing department for virtually everything - from some 3-door hatchbacks (the C4 WRC was called coupé as well) up to huge 4-door limousines from Mercedes and BMW or even some SUVs. It simply makes no sense to be concerned about it.
And by the way the I20 3D has different silouette than the 5D model.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Does Seb not see the irony in what he is saying? The works team he was with just pulled out of the sport from absolutely nowhere. Manufacturer programmes are always subject to the whims of the boardroom, or the financial stability of the company.
The most stable team in the last 20 years of WRC has been.... M-Sport.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia
