As the saying goes- its easier to make a really fast driver consistent than a consistent driver really fast. Ostberg used to be relatively consistent but this year he hasnt even had that - but hes got the cash so id certainly expect he will have a drive for 2014.Quote:

No, my post was alluding to the fact that teams wouldn't be 'chasing' ostberg, a guy who was annihilated by his younger teammate who has vastly less wrc experience, if he didnt have the financial backing. I want mads in the championship, the more decent drivers the better but if it wasnt for his money he would have considerably less options than he 'supposedly' has :dozey:
Some rumors are telling that the rule of keeping driver nr 1 for the whole season will be cancelled from next year. That mean, you can change both drivers if you want. So, if it is true, then it brings many new sides to the market.
Less options than the 5 faster guys or less options compared to slower guys? Normally a driver with Mads quality would have a couple of options, as well as for example Mikko, just because there are not so many, but paying drivers (which are quite slower) to choose from.
For 2014 we'll have the same drivers at VW as 2013 and TN & JH + 1 at Hyundai ...
So all we are chatting about now are a mix of the existing Ford & Citroen drivers swapping about... :rolleyes:
I think meeke will get the gig at citroen ;)Quote:
