[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Nice to hear Kris gets another chance.

Did Sordo seem faster in the Mini? Or am I alone on that?

he was faster and way more confident, if they wouldn't have died he might have had his first win under his belt...

Sordo at least finishes most of the rallies... Not his fan but I'm much less fan of Meeke's...

Only because they prioritised the tarmac events in the season they were team mates. Remember, Sordo came into the Mini team as the senior member with previous WRC experience of all the rallies entered.

About time Kris gets another chance on a competitive car, good luck to him :up: as for Sordo, he's had too many chances without impressing me much so I won't miss him...

If I counted right, this will be his 10th start in World Rally Car, first two being the prehistoric GB and Ireland with Impreza, then most with Mini of course and now DS3.

I bet we'll see a lacklustre Sordo from the start of Germany already, this will not boost his motivation, even if it should. I hope I'm wrong, but the killing spirit isn't now at Citroen team. And even if Meeke did okeyish in Finland (honestly it got out of proportions, the buzz there), he still have lots to learn. But the best thing is, he's willing and highly motivated.

I hope Meeke makes the best from this opportunity. I was hoping lots more from Sordo this year, after some promising outings with the Mini and a good rally Argentina with Ford.
I hope we will not be disappointed by Kris since the expectations are a bit high after his impressive appearance in Finland.

he is expected to deliver, let's hope he does :)

Yes, motivation is something Sordo seems to miss already. Hope Meeke proves his worthy though

can you blame him? he was for 5 years as number 2 (with Loeb there), and then number 1 in MINI (and that didn't last long) and now he's had another chance but a different Seb is dominating this championship even if he's not with Citroen.
