It could be good, but don't know if Malcom has some "agenda" with him regarding some issues in the past when Petter moved to Subaru. Also, Malcom could have given a place this year to him in the B team were his son made lousy performances and to compite strongly for manufacturers points BUT he didn't.....
There might be an DS3 for Petter after all...

So it seems they do have 5 cars or will have....also bear in mind Kimi in Citroen is not confirmed and may not happen.
Citroen should be giving Petter a car to keep him as a on-side player. If he heads to Ford with a Fiesta then he could give them headaches considering his speed this year.
Best to keep the toughest rivals under the same umbrella.
keep your friends close and your enemies even closer
I am sure Skoda is coming in to WRC in 2012, so Petter should start thinking long term. Drive S2000 in 2011 and help develop the Fabia WRC.
have they asked him already ?Quote:

Personally with Petter rurning 36 in November I reckon he would be better commiting to a customer DS3 for 2 years rather than wait to see if a mystery (mythical) manufacturer like VW, Skoda or Toyota actually do commit and have a car that is actually any good. Citroen Norway are very happy with the sales increase in Norway since Petter has been associated with them, maybe its time to step up and exert their influence and fund an importer team, to compliment the official RedBull team. I understand both Sordo & Raikkonen can be in the Junior team, but if they find the funding.
Then back to the reality for a while again, Petter will propably drive the car that he can find sponsoring for like usual, this year was already difficult for him to find enough money, and it wont get any easier.Quote:

Kimi if he really want to continiue driving he can get the money easily, just by putting the hand in the pocket, if he cant find someone who want to pay.
