They should replace this linup 'cos they're not good enough to win the championship.

As for the the rally, I don't think Citroen will allow Petter to win. If Petter wants to win he should make sure to have a long conversation with Quesnel tonight, otherwise random parts in his car will begin to implode.

I dont think its fair to make direct comparisons between the two imo being in different cars and all. Gronholm was a hell of a driver. Shame we never saw them compete in the same team

If that is true, Petter will drive VW next year so he doesn't have to care about Quesnel now

VW Polo won't be homologated next year. They are coming in 2013 and they have laaaarge row of candidates on their seats...

Loeb +1.4.. interesting.

Edit: And then -3.5.. so much for that glimmer of hope.

No splits from him but gap between Mikko and Henning would indicate so...
