Mikko Hirvonen calm ahead of crunch rally to decide Citroen future - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

They would be stupid to call Finland a "crunch rally". He bloody well ought to be fast there.

Maybe they can try to get Neuville back?

I doubt that Hirvonen will be retained, but Sordo could due to Spain still being Citroëns 3^rd or 4^th most important market. There could be a French future talent which could be nursed towards a possible Peugeot entry (which I still believe won’t happen). But all in all, then Citroën in the WRC is coming to an end.

I agree. I think there might be a 3rd prostitute car for pay drivers as well.

Why would any team hire him for next year? Look at the result this year... Any driver coming from sabbatical (Meeke, Loeb) can do better. If there is any justice in WRC, Mikko is going to a deserved retirement after 2013

Meeke was faster, maybe not more reliable. But if he can after 1,5 years absense from WRC outpace Mikko, then M is not WRC material anymore

Regardless of Meeke's speed v Mikko what this rally has shown Matton is that he is wasting a car with MH on tarmac. Citroen should trial a possible replacement in Spain - neither Dani or Mikko have the ability to deliver WDC.

No, but as second (or third) team drivers they still make it worth hiring.
