Refering to Monte only? - then yes I guess he's alloved to win Monte, but I expect Citroën will do all they can to make Loeb win that one. I think Sordo has to win both Rally Germany and Rally Spain, otherwise he's done in the WRC.Quote:

Not na easy job, Ogier will be there also.
Not if he is nominated for the 'B' Team of Citroen. He can score points for that team in MC.Quote:

So he went off a did some testing with a GP2 team to try and show that he could at least handle an open-wheel racing car, and maybe change the FIA's mind. The team wasn't the best (although GP2 cars are identical, a good team plays a big part in a driver's success), but Loeb ultimately proved to be slower than Vladimir Arabadzhiev, who was notorious for being two seconds per lap slower than the front-runners.
The idea of Loeb racing in Formula 1 was then quietly dropped.
