Sebastien Ogier

I have always supported Latvala but tbh I dont think he is much better than his totally useless team mate Hirvonen

Maybe Ford have realised that to win anything in WRC they will have to at the very least get rid of useless Hirvonen

I agree, Hirvonen only won in Australia because both the works Citroens crashed out and that Latvala was told to let Hirvonen past. If none of those happend, he would probably have finished 4th. He managed to nearley become champion in 2009 because he was consistent and was relying on other drivers to make mistakes or break down.

But the problem is that there are no other drivers who could replace Hirvonen in the works team, Petter Solberg maybe?

Hänninen, Mikkelsen, Ostberg and Tänak

Hanninen is bound to VW

Mikkelsen is nobody forthe moment struggling to win Loix in the ladycup competition

Ostberg is good for Sweden only

Tanak is the only Viable solution.

IMHO all of them are at least good enough to replace Hirvonen.
Mikkelsen has the speed and he has showed this in many occasions giving Hänninen very strong resistance. Don't look only the points.

And I was replying to the comment that there's nobody who could replace Hirvonen. I think there's quite plenty of them. Ofcourse I'm happy to see Hänninen in VW, but nothing official yet.

you are wrong about mikkelsen and Hanninen will not abandon VW after all these years of support....

As far as speed goes only Tanak and Hanninen have some chances...the rest are good privateers.

all that brutal beating they got from them all these years is starting to have phychological effects on them... anti-depressant drug companies must be delighted in Finland and UK.

LOL

What's funny is that, Dani Sordo is finally showing what he can do when he is not in the shadow of Citroen team's depressant drugs. ;)

Guys don t forget the masters absence.This is the benchmark in asphalt.
