I heard about that last week - they haven't got the publicity they were expecting. Not really a surprise to me. I wouldn't take too much notice of David Evans, he blows the trumpet of the WRC far too much for supposed 'neutral' journalist. Kimi may attract fans to his service area - but how many newspaper columns, magazine articles are reporting on him? Not that many I'd say. He makes news whenever he is linked to a return to F1, not his mishaps in WRC.

WRC has bad attitude in last five years.. And from this year only MotorsTV and not Eurosport for free.. At least next year will be live stages..

Gee, what a surprise that the one of the key parties in any possible contract negotiation would make a statement like this....

C'mon. Negotiation 101

my oppinion on the monster Kimi tie up may be down to PR and wind up to red bull on monsters behalf,even do maybe Kimi going to mini and getting out of the public glare for a few months and concentrating on learning rallying even further would be no harm,

Of course it's rubbish! It would be like Loeb would completely change teams because he is asked by a sponsor like Monster to change. It's Red Bull all the way! Clowns.
