MTV3 says that Phil has not been getting any salary with PSWRT. I think the reason is that one day you come into a point that you are not willing to risk your life for nothing.

I've just sent Petter my resume. See how I go I suppose :)

Yes, that's what I've read too.. Petter is running on a deficit, and Phil been co-driving for free.
If that's true then it's totally understandable.
All im going to say is gutted :(
Good luck to Phil though wit his buisness, which already seems to be doing rather well :)
I totaly agree.Quote:

It also says that Mills still will play a part in the team :up:
I don't know what to believe about how long this has been planned, but still I think strategically it makes perfect sense for this to happen mid season, if Phil first has decided that he shall retire..
If this happened at the end of the season Petter would likely get in big trouble bringing in sponsors for next year, which he may very well need to. Now I assume he is covered for the rest of the season, and will have the maximum time he could hope for, to get up to speed with a new co-driver, in order to prove they can be competitive.
Obviously Phil would never want to pull Petter out of the service park.. So by leaving now he's giving him the best chances to stay in the game I think. Maybe Phil is making some sacrifices to go a bit early, as it was just an opportunity that presented itself.
Very shocking news as already been stated. I'll really miss him and I did feel that Petter's upcoming win really should be with Mills.
However, I highly doubt that this is a decision made with a minute's notice or anything. Even if it's mid-season and even if there are no co-drivers officially nominated yet and it therefore feels really sudden for us "outsiders", I'm almost convinced that this has been decided and planned (and not just quietly by Mills) for some time and that the whole team is more or less prepared for what's coming up.
Otherwise I would truly be surprised, whether due to personal or economical reasons. I don't think he would do anything to make life harder for the team than avoidable.
Not that anyone's necessarily claimed otherwise, that's just my thoughts in writing.
