On the other hand, Sordo has rejected a last-hour offer from Citroen: a full season. However, he said no mainly because of the lack of testing.

Cant understand hyundai running dani on gravel. Hanninen shouldve got all gravel rallies at least. Juho is also no slouch on tarmac either but guess hyundai maybe want sordos wrc experience...

That´s what I already predicted some days ago. I wouldn´t be suprised if Sordo also gets some gravel rallies instead of Hänninen. Yes, probably because of his WRC-experience

You're right. In the past, Sordo has already reduced his salary to drive some more events (Mini times...). No one handles more inside information than him, so if he decided that it's better to run a minimum of six events than a full season...

Citroën is desperate now. They only have got Meeke for the next season, their number 2 could be a big surprise. A fact is that Novikov rejected a partial program because he is looking for a full one. Imagine that the French team doesn't find anyone else (with money enough)...

In the end, for Matton the worst part of the story is to remember that Ogier and Neuville were Citroën drivers.

Lol, yeah. They are doing a great job developing drivers for VW and Hyundai.

Hyundai is apparently now testing in Lapland. (Nico Gilsoul Instagram pic)

I do not understand Citroen at all. Maybe I am too far away from things, but they seem arrogant and disconnected. 9 times world champions, I would have expected them to release a car for buyers to celebrate that somewhat like a WRX or EVO. That awful DS3 attempt is a joke.

You're talking like making a an Evo-like car was an easy goal for a manufacturer. It's not like that. It's even much more difficult task than to make a WRC - especially from financial aspects. Even if it was so good car like Evo it would still generate only a loss (at least gigantic investment) which the PSA in current situation can hardly afford.
