DS is not Citroen anymore, so I think he will be supported by "DS Benelux" and "DS Racing" and it´s DS 3 (not DS3)

I was jut thinking that if they really like to catch VW and they were not able to overbuy Ogier, then they have now a few spare millions to put it in development and into the cars and maybe also drivers. So, I would not be surprised when we can see 4 Hyundai cars in some events in 2015.

so, not so many seats left now, eh ? VW is confirmed, so is Hyundai. Paddon will be the third car for Hyundai i am sure, the most interesting for me is the second seat of Citroen. Im sure that Meeke will stay but who will get the second seat? But as time goes by im getting more confident it will still be Ostberg.

So, when will Tanak be announced to be Hirvonen's replacement? After Wales I suppose?

I guess so, as an Estonian i can not wait for it:p

For me, 1 of 3: Bouffier, Tänak or Hänninen.

Buffier is a nobody... Hanninen also... so Tanak.

Bouffier is a fast driver, but not enough to be in a factory seat. Also he's a little bit old to learn all the rallies in the championship. The best thing for him will be to continue with Hyundai I think. Hanninen has the speed and also has some knowledge of the rallies already and will be great if he can get the seat but doubt it. Tanak is the most obvious choice - he's young, fast, has relationship with M-sport, know's already the stages but of course need some consistency. Let's see what will happen in next weeks.

Yes, now that Mikko is gone I think Tanak would be the choice. But let´s don´t forget he will have big press on his shoulders, having been in WRC now and then for some years now. And that is reality. Juho would be second choice, Tidemand third (not saying this as a swede - only by his good cv, but less experience though) becuase he is tarmac driver as well.
