    Budar said for next year Citroen will have a 1st driver capable winning on any surface.

    I can't see Neuville or Tanak going there, and don't see why Ogier would go back unless he's given a mammoth salary and is really eyeing to win the championship with 3 different manufacturers.

    Paddon is not a driver who can win on any surface.

    Paddon is not "winning driver". He is on same level like Breen or Ostberg.

    I think ostberg is a little bit worse compared to the other two you mentioned,plus he has already reached his full potential.The other two i think have space for improvement.

    Breen probably Paddon, I'm not sure. It's quite amazing that we have so many bipolar drivers in Paddon, Mikkelsen, Ostberg, Latvala and Evans at the moment. One moment they look proper quick, the next you're really disappointed.

    Maybe Lappi is the man. Then they get a man on his way up. If they want a more secure solution, Latvala as a clear number one, is still a winner imo.

    Because the FIA is run by worthless economic illiterates and they don't understand that testing is the cheapest way to improve your car. So they continually fall prey to the Toto Wolffs and Jost Capitos of the world, who understand economics very well, and understand that the more complicated regulations and arbitrary constraints they add to the rule book, the more expensive it makes every percent of performance gain. And that means they can outperform other teams by outspending them rather than out-innovating them.

    And if you can benefit yourself and screw over your competitors while appearing to care about the plight of the poorer teams, well, that's just gravy on top.
