Now that Loeb stays in he will try to move to VW..... you will see.... ;-)

he still has 2 years of contract and if Loeb chooses the option to retire at the end of 2012 then Ogier might be the new face of Citroen for the coming years.

I think its far better to work in an environemt where everyone speaks your language and the office is in your country.

I think next year Ogier will be very hard to catch speedwise, this year reminds me of Loebs 2003 year were he was very fast and very close in winning the championship and in 2004 he won it with hands in pockets.

I still doubt that Ogier can be that consistent as Loeb, already in Germany he had a very lucky moment.

we will see.

+1 (even though it would be better competition if Ogier goes to VW)

Also, what has been said in English and what in French - some stuff definitely gets lost in translation. Good win for Ogier but he shouldn't expect any charity for the remainder of this year - after all he did just get luck with a puncture for Loeb.

Ogier was asked by French TV crew on friday evening if there were gonna be tactics and he answered : "Loeb is gonna go cry to the team 'My young teamate is pushing me blablabla' [...] theres things and people that made me dream in the past but not anymore"

And that's not me paraphrasing, he did say those things exactly as i translated them ... (well as exactly as my english is :D )

I think there is a place and a time to say some things and i believed he shouldnt say stuff like that. To me he sounded like a child...

my pictures are online!!!

Merci, beaucoup. Your english is fine, that clarifies the issue for me. Ogier should be told to keep it buttoned or else go and stand on the naughty step. It is one thing to have a team disagreement but all this now seems like sour grapes. I think Quesnel made a massive error of judgement in deciding that this should be Ogier's 'year' and giving him preferential access to information. What did they expect the most competitive rally driver of all time to do , roll over and play dead? Loeb made his point by out-foxing Ogier in Finland and there can be very little complaint from Ogier - he tried a 'my team' move and it's failed. Eat it up or sign for VW (which it looks like Quesnel feared / expected Loeb to do)
