Petter was loyal to Subaru/Prodrive way to long, and should have left long before he did.
in the last very frustrating years with a shait car, Petter was not easy to be around, since this is his life, and not politics!
Why did Petter stay with Prodrive so long? I read a rumor ages ago that he was offerend a works Xsara and tunred it down...
I think the main question is money.Quote:

Because he has said it quite clear that he dont want to pay for a drive??Quote:

Novikov is already testing M-Sport Fiesta in monte right now
Yeah, the theory is that neither Novikov nor Neuville has the budget to complate a full season, but they could share the car.
