357 vs 356 points doesnt indicate a faster driver.

True, but having all 2014/15 stats in Muller favour seems a much more reliable indicator than your subjective opinion.

From what we know, getting rid of Ogier and Neuville happened to please Loeb. And then, Matton manages to stray Citroen and Loeb's relationship after 2015 WTCC season. Really questionable leadership if you ask me.

Fair enough. The episode was a sort of PR nightmare for Citroen. It’s still hard to understand why Matton wasn’t able to present Loeb’s move to Peugeot as a normal situation among PSA brands.

Sweet lord. FIFA, IOC, FIA, you name it every sports comitee is utterly corrupt. They are worse than the Mafia. Here you have a guy who took over a team that seemingly couldn't stop winning championships to save their lives and somehow managed to bring it to the shitters, then gets the sack from said team and those funny men go 'you know what? he should manage the whole sport!'

Whoopdeefuckingdoo.

Some news on a few things to expect tomorrow at the Autosport Show launch via Motorsport News.

- News on another M-Sport driver
- Mads Ostberg plans for 2018

That's on top of the WRC+ stuff. I was going to go to the show but it looks like all drivers and team personnel will leave after Friday, just ahead of the actual public fan days starting at the weekend. You need to be media or trade to go on Thu/Fri. I completely get why they wouldn't hang around in Birmingham for four days, but for the paying punter you won't see anyone!

There's the Autosport stage during punter days, with intereviews all day with racing drivers. Hopefully a current and ex-WRC stars are interveiwed. At the very least, Petter Solberg usually sticks around.

what i wantto say is that Loeb extracted from wtcc programm because he had to go to rally raids with peugeot,not because he was slow.

So:
Is Yves Matton better option for FIA job than Jarmo Lehtinen ?

Both have their merits, but which one would suit better for FIA job ?

Hard to say, I have no opinion.
