Would be cool if this happened. Didn't someone from VW HQ confirm that there was only going to be 2 Polo's next year?

From the 4th round of the championship they now say 3 cars. However, if FIA re-introduce the three car team it could be all season. Some speculation that FIA may insist on the 3rd car being driven by a young driver, Mikkelsen? Or if there is no restriction on age maybe Sordo. All that I am hearing about VW points to Ogier, Latvala and Mikkelssen.
Rumours on a norwegian forum that Mikkelsen is signed with vw :)
This is no rumour... they signed him long time ago... the question is for 2nd or 3rd supporting driver ?Quote:

However, Ogier, Mikkelsen & Sordo/ Latvala would be a good set up. Personally, I'd have Sordo over Latvala....guaranteed solid finishes to back up Ogier. Can Latvala be trusted over a season to rack up points? Though, sooner or later the penny must drop with him.
Latvala is a good choice from a financial point of view... with him it is one car less to maintain and run... he has a good manager.
And I think Latvala playing the second fiddle is suiting him best.

No doubt at all, they'll win it all.
Just watch it roll to a bigger ball.

I think VW are making the right move with Latvalla. Citroen will be finally dethroned 2013.
