No news, but I suspect that Mathew will be Monster driver, and Henning pairs up with Adapta, rumours that Stobart are scaling down.

And Khalid Al-Qassimi? Theirs a place at MINI as partner to Kris Meeke if he decides to continue with the WRC. Of course that is IF he decides. Who is to say he will not be in the WRC this year? But he finished 12th last year with 12pts which equals his 2009 position but got 6pts more than 2009. And I hope with that in mind he will give 2011 a go.

If Khalid drives a selected program in 2011, like he most propably will I think, it'll be absolutely with Ford, see he brings the Abu Dhabi money. Comparing points between 2009 and 2010 is useless, because the points system changed, though Khalid is kind of driver that picks up the left-over points anyway.

Mathew Wilson taking the second Monster Ford is a waste of budget. If Block or the board of Monster energy have any sence they would hire a better pofile driver who also gets better results. For example a guy named Petter.

No BP on Ford car, but Catrol Edge is told here are ready. So maybe more money needs for Ford 'A' Team? Maybe Stobart on Ford car?

Or will Stobart support a better Britsh Driver? Will they support Meeke on Mini?

BP and Castrol are from the same company, their budget comes from the same bookkeeper. Castrol wil gets more space on the car.

Stobart would back a Ford only because of the friendship of Malcolm Wilson and the Stobart brothers.
