Yeah leaving the early development donkey work to team-mates is hardly the sign of a team leader. You wouldn't see a guy like Sainz do that. Or guys like Makinen and Loeb who had cars built around them.

Well, when You have a driving style that wins You four consecutive World Championship titles, maybe thats not such a bad idea. And maybe the other drivers, instead of trying to adapt the car to their driving "style", should rather adapt them self to the car?Quote:

Something to throw into the general mix around Citroen's future.
Polestar (Volvo) have just announced their entry to the WTCC for next year, actually giving Citroen some more credible opposition to beat. Yves Matton welcomed their news on Twitter.
So a boost for the WTCC argument I'd say.

This is the same piece that was published in MN last Wednesday. Todt is basically putting his hands over his ears saying "la la la - not my problem". When, from what I can see, he's allowed a very muddled, unbalanced WRC Commission to form under his watch.
What was also in that MN article was that apparently, despite all four teams publicly saying they don't want 14 rounds, one of them privately voted in support of it!
I'm also not really sure how Corsica think they are in a position of strength right now to argue with anyone.
Monte will do what they want - their event is almost bigger than the sport. They ran outside the WRC in 2009-2011 and got extensive Live TV coverage. I'm sure the ERC would welcome them if the WRC were brave/ stupid enough to leave then off the calendar.
Agree about Todt though - came in to power wanting to resurrect the WRC but often leaves it to others to sort out. Does he have other motives?
New PR/Marketing consultants for Ogier.

Is this the reason why he did not yet react at the decision about rally2 drivers position in the start order on day2? Was he waiting to someone who calmed him down? :)
Not sure there's too much to read in to that.Quote:

Dear friend, there's nothing to read in to it. It is useless information as you say. It's just a way to fill our empty lifes in the break from one rally to another. ;)Quote:
