Discuss.
Well, he must make decisions, beacause the entry for Monte is closing up.. (and for the whole season?)Quote:

Source : 2012 WRC Rumour Round Up
"Team Solberg at Ford" (rumour)
Solberg related rumour is that the Solberg brothers will be in the same team next year. a Fiesta WRC would be the obvious choice given Henning's relationship with ford but going back to the blue oval would be a surprising move for Petter after he burnt any bridges that may have led to Cockermouth back in the day. Malcom Wilson appears to still hold a grudge for Solberg's defection to Subaru all those years ago but time is a great healer and if Solberg knocks on the door of M-sport with an envelope containing a few million euro's then it is a strong possibility he could find himself in for a seat fitting fairly quickly.
It is unlikely Petter will pay for another season of rallying himself but Henning has always appeared to have more luck in attracting enough sponsorship each year to pay for his own WRC campaigns so maybe Petter is planning to leverage the contacts and enthusiasm of his brother"
As you almost say, cash is a great healer.........
