[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[the sniper]

I can't believe at all that if there was a VW Qatar drive going, in a team without Ogier, that Mikkelsen would turn them down because they weren't willing to pay enough... It'd be the best, maybe only chance, for him to be a Champion!

How would you tell one of those from ordinary?
probably both very fast.

And very mad!

I think the point Colin Clark was making is for anybody to afford running those cars (it has to cost VW zero) then they need very deep pockets i.e. Qatar. He also said that the private the VWs seem to be Mikkelsen's only chance for a drive in 2017 unless he pays M-Sport for a drive/car, so not actually suggesting you'd need a lot of money to tempt Mikkelsen into driving the VW.

Colin Clark's new blog implies that Ogier's choice is between M-Sport or Citroen and says he is meeting with the head of the PSA Group, not Matton.

Clark also says the private VW deal will be too costly for any sponsor to pay for and also pay a top driver (ie Ogier/Mikkelsen).

Mikkelsen is said to be in danger of not getting a 2017 drive.

Not sure Colin really knows much more than the rest of us?

Agreed.

I felt like what he knows is what he reads on here....

He didn't actually say anything useful or not widely know at all.

Im not sure Colins thoughts about M-sport is right. Can´t see why Malcolm wouldn't want Mikkelsen if Ogier ends up in VW.. Most likely Malcolm doesn't have to pay anything to Mikkelsen, only the costs of running the car. Thats a pretty good deal for WRC´s third best driver

no comments about Latvala at Toyota? not a surprise,but I d like to listen your thoughts.

Why is everybody so sure Wilson can’t get Mikkelsen? If Ogier doesn’t sign it’d be a waste not to take it. He could put Camilli on WRC2 or ERC. It worked for Evans.
