Citroen is really mad of Sordo. Not only they kick him out of the factory team, but they also want back all the salary they paid him the last 5 years. A drive in the DS3 in 2011 costs Sordo 2.998.465,56 euro and 5 botlles of wine (the same they gave him as a X-mas bonus). Did Sordo sleep with Quesnel's wife? :)
This's **** and not sport anymore..
Despite what we are told, the sport is still a mess. If Sordo is needing to bring a money for a budget then nothing much has changed. Okay, so he’s not a number 1 driver, but he racks up consistent top 5/6 finishes, plus podiums on Tarmac. He should have a seat – the FiA should never have got rid of 3 car teams, thereby allowing a ‘specialist’ driver – which always added something to the mix in days gone by; Liatti on Tar, Eriksson on gravel/snow for example.
If Ford are serious, they should sign him up pronto – unfortunately, they’re needing money for drives. I would like to know how much money Ford actually put in – seeing as M-Sport rely on AbuDhabi-BPCastrol for sponsorship, and require pay drivers.
They said cost cutting and they brought 1.6T WRC but increased km's/SS.. Bull****..
i think Sordo began his career with the best prospects (beating meeke in identical equipment) but his lack of development on gravel left no choice to citroen i think...On tarmac he was the closest thing to Loeb.Quote:

for ford is a good choice for tarmac events but what about gravel ??
its been a long time since a top driver changed team, it will be interesting to see how big the difference between Sordo and Latvala is on tarmac, also it might indicate how good car the Citroen really is or was.
+1 on that. Funny thought about this: Does M-Sport really want to find out how bad their car is ?Quote:

of course if the change happens that is...
i think at the start the cars will not have big differences...at least i hope, but in the end those who aim for the top will make a difference from those that aim for their wallet.Quote:
