What gives you guys the energy to think Hänninen could be in consideration of any team? He isn't.
F1, Dakar, WRC... cockup after cockup for BMW. How do they expect to have a brand representative team with a handful of money? Or they even expected somebody to pay them for using the brand?
I have to disagree. Why wouldn't he be under concideration in any team? He has won all series he has participated in last three years.Quote:

1. Latvala case: I can see why decision is difficult. Ford has a car that has this proved to be a top contender. With Loeb gone, with Ford Latvala has his best chance ever to be a World Champion until VW gets their car together. Then stopping Ogier will be hard. BUT, Ford future is uncertain, so long term VW would be better option.
2. Solberg. Regardless of the France incident, he has made way too many mistakea this year. It was sort of acceptabe, when he was trying to beat works car in private car, but not when you are hired to be the "safe collector" of manu points.
3. Mini. Don't really get what BMW is thinking, they made the initial commitment and Prodrive produced quite a good car in the first year. It is still a good base to be a contender for wins, so why not invest? Especially as BMW as company is doing really well. If they are fed up Prodrive, then with someone else.
4. Huyndai. They have a mock up or show car, nothing else. Will be a long way before they can even compete, let a lone be competitive, so hold your horses :)
Something from the latest Vauhdin Maailma magazine: Esapekka Lappi is really close of signing a deal with Škoda's factory team for next year.
Lets hope he will grow and not end like Juho...
