Loeb is the first driver at Citroen, Sordo is the second. If they will give a C4 to Solberg and nominate them to manufacturers points, then Citroen has no problem at all.
Easy, don't you think?

Easy but very expensive and I don't know if they want to spend all that money.
I think Petter is willing to pay to drive this year (which he already does!), provided he gets the best equipment. For Citroen it must be the best solution to "give" Petter a C4, and nominate him for point on the remaining gravel rallies. On tarmac Sordo is the best choice, of course.Quote:

Petter this way will be a great threat for Seb who is no1 and with Fords pushing from behind,Citroen will not be so comfortable in swapping places...
I specific said "give" in "" because I also know that they never will give the car for free, that's why I said he could be willing to pay to drive - provided he got the best possible Citroen, meaning a top spec C4.Quote:

Petter in a Munchis is a possibility of course, but I think he is happy right now, but who knows !
All in all it is great to see Petter under the magnifier of the manus... It implies he still is good enough to battle with Sebastien. If you take into account he could have been 3rd in Argentina he got more points been a privatier (with an ancient Xsara) than he got with Subaru last years. Certainly he is giving to this chapionship the quota of fun otherwise .... Really boring to talk about 5th or 6th win in a row for Loeb.
I don`t understand why Citroen gave Petter what he want. Solberg try to blackmail Citroen and they gave him Xsara`06 parts. But it would be right only if Petter would be a 'third Citroen driver' and if he helps Loeb to get maximum points. But that`s not happened. Then if Petter is only a 'MSN PS WRT' driver Citroen mustn`t help him.Quote:

Today they aren't, the interesting thing would be if the championships get closer later in the season! Then, I think Petter will have harder times from Citroen, but maybe even from Ford... :)Quote:
