6 events for Suninen sounds good to me. Not too few, not too many. Hopefully with R5 in between.

And probably Ogi don't want to risk his reputation by going into Citroen. Maybe if they do good on Australia, but I doubt that. I think that if he got 5 mio on the table, Citroen maybe place a little higher or the same.. Like they say how badly they want him it's no point giving him less than that.. Or otherwise they are cheap as hell.

Well in at least two articles after Germany Matton said how focused they were only on getting Ogier and that it was the reason why they let Mikkelsen go.
If they now don't get Ogier either it will be one more item on the list of his fails this year. Let's list the main ones:
1. Didn't get any of the 3 VW drivers (and said he was not interested in Latvala or Mikkelsen at all), now out of those 3:
- Ogier won the championship
- Latvala was 4th, while Citroen main driver will be 6th or 7th
- Mikkelsen was taken into the team 6 months later and first after he came changes on the car were made, he also gave the team one of the 3 podiums
Meanwhile out of his 3 drivers, one driver got 8 crashes in 11 rallies, another got 4 crashes in 7 rallies and has only shown decent speed in a single rally
2. Came with a twitchy car on gravel after a year of preparation
3. Arrived in Monte and Sweden "without a good setup" (his own words)
4. His coaching of Meeke after Corsica "Kris should focus on getting single rally wins and not on championship", resulted in 4 DNFs with multiple destroyed cars and his main driver benched.
I really do wonder how he convinces his bosses that he is the right man for the job.Last edited by mknight; 1st November 2017 at 15:59.

4 car team, manus complain about costs, so no go from them. involve satellite teams again to have more teams in championship...
about citroen. you don't say anything about breen. He is the only one who manage to hold this team up. and don't forget teoretically they still have chance of being 3rd on manufacturer championship.
