Autosport.com is late, because some hours before we all knew that Sordo was in line to replace Latvala.Quote:

They're not late, they're secure. Many Spanish sources published that everything was done when many things were only rumours (they know which of them are reliable). Sordo obtained Prodrive's permission this morning, they delayed the agreement to get more money for "lending" his driver.Quote:

Latvala gave an interview for Finnish broadcasting company YLE yesterday:
Nordic skiing is part of his normal practise. At the end of 18 km route there was a sudden full-stop.
"I was at the last downhill coming to the cabin when something hit the ski. There was something I didn't notice, because it had been snowing", Latvala says.
"You could compare the stop to running your bike into pavement and flying over the steering. I flew straight ahead and everything landed on the shoulder."
Latvala says that the severity of the damage came clear soon.
"At the moment I tried to get up, I realised it was not good. The pain was immense. I've never felt such pain before", Latvala describes.
"The collar bone shattered into two pieces, and it was pressing the nerve at the neck. I almost lost consciousness while trying to get up."

To be "in line" is not the same as to be "confirmed". Sordo is not yet confirmed.Quote:

Yes, like Germany 2011. The second driver beats the num 1 that is fighting for the championship.Quote:

Is interesting as you try to use the interest of the team as argument to explain the obvious. Ogier had the oportunities that Sordo never had.
But Sordo will prove the he is much better driver than what Citroen let him to be.
