Red Bull Racing F1's budget is around 150 million euros (125 pounds). This is open knowledge as they have to declare their details in the UK.

So to think that Citroen WRT is spending 100 million is garbage.

In the 2010 season Citroen's budget was 38 million Euro. It was less for the the 2011 season, somewhere around 30 million. I imagine it was similar this season. Figures from a Citroen source.

Papa Wilson will be rubbing his hands......

Great news for Juho, he deserves it and he should upset one or two other drivers...

I read it too. It is only an anonymous comment in a forum where people usually write nonsenses.

Some clarification on Hänninen's deal. He has so far only two rallies, Monte Carlo and Sweden, confirmed but is of course targeting for more rallies.

Even if it is just 2 events I just pray that Juho keeps it on track and proves what he is worth, with all the titles under his belt!! Maybe it is just an audition for the Qatar seat as Malcolm mentioned the 2nd seat might be shared around.
