What's your problem?
The puzzles are propably that Citroen wants to put Ostberg for 10 rounds, and Kubica for 3 tarmac events in main team car and rest rounds in private car.
And it becomes tedious to have to type in full the name of the 18 or so regular World Rally Championship (see what I did there?) drivers when you are keying from a BlackBerry (BB) - None of the drivers have the same initials (not acronyms) so there really is no confusion possible if you have a passing knowledge of who is competing. Personally I think the average rally fan can follow the drift. If not you'll just have to complain to the AAAAA (Association for the Abolition of Assinine Acronyms and Abbreviations)

I think Kubica offers great value to any sponsors and investors, compared to many other drivers. For sure he hasn't been the best in his first year in WRC, but few people are in their first season at top level, and none of them have the development of a unique shifting situation either.
However, the reason for my initial point is that he, at least at the WRC events I've been at this year, is massively popular amongst the Polish crowd; he's an absolute hero and I'm judging this by the queue for photos and autographs and the number of people waiting for his car to arrive in for service.
DTM is strictly geographically limited, but WRC is a close-up sport that takes in a lot of Europe, including Poland and many countries where Polish ex-pats live. I found myself being part of the crowd in front of his service area just because of the great atmosphere in Wales, one that also spread around all the stages both here and in Sweden.
I'm rambling a bit, but I hope he sticks around for several years to come as I think he's an asset to the sport and always good to see more cars in the top class.
