I believe that Robert could be the center of the team :D .Quote:

Posting by Motorsport Island - should start with Fiesta R5 at Jänner Rallye.
http://ereader.autotouring.at/reader/au ... 2013/12#44 top right article - translation: Kubica will start at Jänner Rallye (no word of car).
Hope Østberg has a deal with Citroen, the season in MSport did not work for him. He showed the speed in 12, so that is proven.
I have lost faith in MSport for a World Title.
Depends, this year has hampered his chances big time- disastrous year for him. Lucky he still has money though, and yes he maybe just had a bad year and will be back nearer the top next year but i doubt he has that raw pace. Citroen would be the best solution for him imo if he finds a drive. But with Citroen having seeminly signed meeke already, that suggests that they might not be keen on Mads despite his money- or maybe he could be #2 :confused:Quote:

I disagree. Mads shows consistence and some speed. The car have many issues early this season and affect his confidence. Hope see him next year with "new" faith.
I can't believe how people on this forum are bashing Ostberg so much. It's this football culture of one bad season and kick him out. Coming into this year I felt he deserved his place at M-Sport and that Novikov hadn't really done much to deserve his (all sponsorship factors aside), but come the end of the year neither had really done badly enough to be cast out of the team.
Why after one bad season - where a lot of it was to do with reliability issues and bad luck, at the start of the season at least - has Ostberg 'blown it' at M-Sport. If I were Malcolm Wilson I'd want Ostberg to stay and give him another chance. As for Novikov he should keep his seat there only if no other options are available - he would probably be behind Hirvonen, Ostberg, Evans & Kubica in the pecking order.
People make mistakes and have dips in form and there'll be no driving talent left if anybody finishing lower than 5th in the championship loses their drive!
I guess people wouldn't be saying the things about Ostberg, if T. Neuville wouldn't had achieved such results as he did in the same car.
But perhaps Neuville is just that good. Nobody was expecting a non-Factory Ford to finish 2nd in the championship...
