As long as daddy pays ostberg is going nowhere.
I know he is slow but, on the other hand, he brings points in the championship.
For example, many people told Meeke could be a rival to Ogier next year but, during the two years with Citroën, Ostberg had a better ranking than Meeke.
Either it's M-Sport or Toyota, he could be a useful driver:
- he brings points
- for Toyota, he brings experience in works teams.
Ostberg staying with M-Sport could be a good News for Evans if Toyota looks for a driver with works team experience
Ostberg bringed points when they were few teams/cars and plenty retirements.
Now with official teams from Citroen Vw Hyundai Toyota Ford and with the 3 driver rule,bringing points would be much more difficult,because he is slow,and because you cant have 10 retirements from works teams at every rally.
He is finished.
Ostberg will stay whatever.
If a team wants him to drive their car and pick up points for them that is their choice.
If not and he can enter in the Adapta team then why not. If its ok for other privateers like Prokop/Bertelli and at least he's quicker than them. Plus its another WRC car to watch for fans.
I'm not against Östberg and he is nice to watch at the stages. However, he seems a bit spoiled and IMHO makes up funny excuses. Still, he is a solid points scorer and belongs to the series for at least couple more seasons.

Skoda are very interested in keeping Pontus Tidemand and his co-driver Jonas Andersson for 2017.

If Ostberg has to pay for his drive with M-Sport, why do they have him as a nominated points scorer if he is so slow ? Why not just run the car for him and have another faster driver as their official driver ? Or is there no-one faster that they can get ...
It isn't decided yet, calm down...or you mean this season?
