I'm not sure in 100% but from what I saw no Nasser this year in WRC, this mean no for Qatar in Fords???

Now officially confirmed from ALM - Novikov will not start the season. He could drive later if money from sponsor are found. I will not miss him much, he has proved to me his best achievement could be "the best of the rest".
I used to find his "commitment" and "bravery" entertaining but that wore off the longer this season went on. Really wouldnt be a shame if he wasn't in the WRC again as he has had so many chances to learn!
Novikov is a loss because he was fast... but he got his chances and he did not deliver to be considered a candidate for a non paid drive... he is still young so he might have another chance if he gets more money.
Russian rally fans are very upset that M-Sport have given a chance to Elfyn Evans when Nokikov has much more WRC experience. :crazy:
Also they dont understand why some of their wealthy oil or gas companies (eg Gazprom) wont support him when they sponsor other sports stars and teams outside of Russia. ;(
Hopefully he will be back at some point as he has proper speed which some others will never have... :rolleyes:
Merry Christmas guys! Wish you all the best in 2014 ( rally ) year.
Iīm not surprised if Evans as well as former driver in M-Sport Novikov was/is paying drivers. Obviously Novikov didnīt have money to pay Mr Wilson. Evans had.Quote:
