I think that it would be imprudent to write off Mikko's chances of a title long-term. Not for 2 years anyway, maybe at Peugeot like Gronholm.
I think that he still has a good chance of winning Sweden and Finland at least.

Another thread needed?
Don't forget-also Quesnel will be replaced for 2012!!
Bad choice by Citroen, good bye to title for Mikko. I agree that next two seasons may be the last two years of the Citroen works operation.
Who do you think hey should have choosen? I dont think there was any other option, Ogier basicly kicked out, Latvala continiues 1 year more with Ford, the younger guys still lack experience.Quote:

:D ;)
In my opinion Petter Solberg is still a faster driver than Hirvonen.Quote:

Keep in mind also he had to help fund the last 2 or so rounds himself, not a comfortable position to be in. If he was in Hirvonen's situation I think Petter would be faster.Quote:
