I read somewhere that in Italy, WRC will be shown on RAI Sports. To me that has always seemed like a big channel (any Italian to confirm or deny?).

i am pretty sure Matton did not take Neuville situation seriously. Now he is frustrated.Quote:

Story is in wrc.com as well
World Rally Championship - News - Big boost for WRC TV
I hoped for some live action as well but seems no at the moment
I believe Citroën had plenty of time to do something. For Neuville, if you have no promise of more than 5 events on paper, the choice is easy... In an interview with autonews magazine Yves Matton said that they will not take a junior driver in 2013, but that, if they need a driver, they will look at the best one available, and if that is Thierry, that is Thierry... :)Quote:

Read that article and a huge 'What?' reaction was the result, maybe it's because English isn't my native language. But here's why such reactionQuote:

IMO, Neuville should give a very big cuddle to Nasser, as he didn't show anything this season that would make any body to invest in him next season, especially a full program (good for us though, more driver, more spectacle).
I know it was his first season in WRC... but getting a full program next year, it is a big gift. Hope he will be smart and start to finish rallies.
Regarding citroen, it looks like they don't want to do much without loeb... Hope Hirvonen and Sordo will still have full support next season from the team, and that they not start to put ressource on the wtcc and leave the wrc program as it is...

I don't normally defend or attack people, but having seen Thierry in person at Condroz in the 207 where he had an almighty battle against Freddy in a Fabia, I will for him.
Yes, he can't stand still in his development and expect to stay in the championship, but realistically he probably won't do that - let him have a chance instead of just slamming him immediately.
Besides, wouldn't it be a no-brainer decision for anyone to go for the full season offer over a 'half season, we'll see as we go along'-deal? I commend him for taking the best available deal FOR HIM.
