Abbring's quick adaptability shows once more. :)

Atkinson got to Germany testing with the team pretty quick from Queensland Australia... It must have been in the plans for at least a few weeks. It would cost at least $3,000 to fly the next day from Aus to Europe and then see pics of him with MINi that fast! :o

Maybe not a few weeks, but certainly some time it must have been known, as the WRC Commission will have had to take a vote to agree to the change of driver.

Atkinson have to show he is still capable of top positions. He went to NORF full of confidence he can even climb to the podium, but he was far from it before crashed out. The crash itself tells he need to drive little more in WRC before hoping for more, little humility won't harm him.

I think he still has it, he may not be able to fight for championships but only Loeb can fight for championships at the minute. I think he will fight for podiums, but theres only one way to find out.

Does anyone know whats hapening with Meeke?

I thought it was odd that the already contracted mini driver (Meeke) wasn't put in as a replacement. Wasn't there rumors of him moving to irc next year? Maybe he is under a new contract with another team and can't do anything else.
