Gronholm - How many years?
At the moment, Marcus Gronholm looks like going to his 26th WRC victory if things stay as is. With form like this, it must be said that he is probably the most competitive post-35 year old in motorsport today.
But how many years of competitive driving are left?
He said at the start of 2006 that if he wins the title, he will retire. If not, he will try again this year.
If I am right, then 2007 is the last year on his Ford contract. But it's hard to imagine that he will retire at the end of this year, considering he still wants to win in this sport.
Based on the 2006 comments, I'll assume that if he wins the WRC title this year, he will retire. If he does retire at the end of this year, then another question has to be asked -
Who will replace him at Ford?
Obviously it has to be someone good, which would rule out Wilson jr. (hopefully). Latvala?
Discuss.
