Great news for JH. I hope this time we are not disappointed by his performance as the one-off rallies he did this year.
If Sordo considers doing a part-season I think they will choose him (for me, after his performance this year he does not deserve a driver in gravel). He is by far the best and consistent driver for tarmac rounds.
Good picture.Quote:

Really pleased for Juho, even if I think he would be capable of being a good second driver for the whole championship and not just a few gravel events.
I agree with others thoughts that they will aim for Sordo for tarmac and if they can't get him they will give them to Bouffier. I guess Dani is holding out for a deal somewhere for more than just the tarmac rounds though.
I am not a fan of the idea of watering down the second car to three or four drivers, so I hope it is a maximum of two.
I would rather see Sordo get a full season at Ford alongside Hirvonen, he would be a better no.2 for them than Ostberg. Put Ostberg and Novikov in a second Ford team if they are paying.
Really pleased for Juho – lets hope he gets a decent run of events. Doing ‘one off’ events is no good for anybody. A permament team of Thierry & Juho would be good – obviously next year is all in preparation for a full effort in 2015. I’d say Juho’s pace on Tar was as good as Brians, so who knows what will happen. As for Atkinson, I’m not sure what he offers above the others. Unless Hyundai Australia have an influence??
A properly quick and brave driver... lets hope this is the chance Hanninen has been waiting for to make the next step and he is competitive at the top level.
It would be brilliant if he and Neuville can have a great year and we see a real chance of them getting close to the VWs... :facelick:
Atkinson is the only one out of the current crop with a podium at WRC Monte Carlo. Bouff won it as Round 1 of the IRC in 2011.
Nothing against Atko personally, but I hope he doesn't get a drive with Hyundai (except testing) because he's had his chance and although he was quick sometimes, he never showed that he could challenge the front runners consistently.
