Kubica and Ostberg at Ford, Mikko to stay at Citroen then?
Maybe Lotos offered to sponsor M-Sport in return for a full season for Robert, which Citroen could not accept because of Total?
Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
maybe kubica will share his fiesta next year?

M-Sport and Ford have had a very longstanding (and very deep) relationship with BP / Castrol. It's a huge business-to-business deal between Ford and BP.
This would mean that would have to disappear.
And probably any chance of Ford coming back.

But do Ford have much say in how things are run in Cumbria any more, and do BP actually contribute any cash or is it just free oil? :laugh:

There is no confirmation either way, we will know more a week tomorrow. But I am surprised that Citroen don't seem to have started testing for Monte yet?

Citroen's testing budget has already been severely reduced this year. I am sure they will do a day or so each for each driver in January.
Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
I guess tit is stil Hirvonen/Ostberg for M-Sport 1 and Kubica for M-Sport 2 team. They can have different sponosr there.
Citroen does not know 100% who is going to drive for them next year yet.. so.. it is hard to start testing..
