In a scenario were Loeb and Hirvonen would be figthing for the championship in GB, I don't belive Solberg would have a chance. If one of the guy retires, then the other would not attack, and Solberg would probably go for the win.

Unfortunately,we have to wait as far as the GB rally to see what will happen!Quote:

Best he can hope for (barring retirements) is fifth.
fifth? Thats a bit optimistic is'nt it?
I disagree. Loeb must win in Australia otherwise it's almost "game over". Then he will have to rely on a 1-2 Citroën finish in Catalunya, and then he "only" needs second place in GB to take the title.Quote:

Therefor there will be no "taking it carefully" IMHO. But with Loeb's mind now on circuit racing, I think he's most likely to make a mistake or to be beaten fair and square.
So will Petter hand on until after Australia to see who offers the most tempting deal before deciding?
Better to keep driving Xsara for these two rallies than to pay big money for long weekend(s) (like Atkinson did)..
Total agree!Quote:

He can't do something in this championship,so I think he has to just finish the year with the little damage for his profile...
Next year he can take every car he wants and needs for been competitive at last ;)
I have the impression that the new deal includes 2010,doesn't it??
You shouldn't, at least If you belong to rally fansQuote:

Using another car under real race conditions ( not testings )
will help Petter to understand what's the best for him
for the new season...before It starts!
