If Quesnel is not credible, who would be more objective for you? loeb?

well in the same interview you can see how objective Quesnel is when he is asked which of the sebs he means and he says for me there is only one...

i am not saying he is lying but for sure i highly doubt that the offer from Ford was much different... if there was a difference in the first place that is. In my understanding Ford offered ogier No1 status and citroen could not follow..

The bottom line remains... there is no evidence that the money from ford were that many (even from a logical point of view Citroen was the big daddy back then in budget terms) and Ogier refused them.

when somebody believes that Ford can make a better offer than Citroen the years when Latvala was driving with his pocket,and Mikko was earning some 500.000 per year,you have to be silent.No worth to continue the discuss.Mikko this year when Citroen has less budget from previous years is earning 3 millions.Figure out.....

guys, are you masohists?

But if Ogier does make the jump to the blue oval, it won't be at the expense of current drivers Mikko Hirvonen or Jari-Matti Latvala. "I want to make it very clear that Mikko and Jari-Matti will still be the main drivers at the BP Ford Abu Dhabi team for 2011," added Wilson. "We're looking at other ways to incorporate him [Ogier] but we're not in a position to disclose those just yet."

yeah right,Mikko and Latvala main drivers(one for free,and the other with some 500k) and Ogier not No1 and with better salary from Citroen, at years with no problem about budget. :laugh:
is it clear for you now that Quesnel is not reliable?

The Ogier haters won't like it but there it is, he was promised equal status so stayed at Citroen for less money. No wonder he drove into the wall at Great Orme, this year he'll be waving at the masonry as he wins WRGB ;)

i only see some trying to make Ogier a hero,while he dont need it. ;)

the salary depends on many things. In F1 the current 4-time consecutive champion gets twice less money than a guy whose last titles was in 2006 and the same money as another guy who has won only 2-3 races in his life (zero when he signed that contract)

yes but the F1 ladyboys you mention they are in different teams...

There are too many contradictions in the words of Quesnel... I mean Dim is right how can it be possible Wilson to offer more money than Citroen (that had a bigger budget) to a guy who would be his 3rd driver ??? it makes no sense...just like Mr Quesnel... he probably is bitter either because is is bald and ugly or a failure wherever he went...so he just inflates things.

if Malcolm was reading this will laugh to tears :laugh: :laugh: .Dont continue this,you are not going to make anyone to believe it.
money at f1, has nothing common with M-sport 3rd driver.
Dont try to make Ogier a hero.He really don t need it.
And take your pills.
