By allowing Ogier to dispute Loeb leadership, Quesnel has secured the younger Seb at Citroen but probably will be responsable for Loebs departure.
This's bull****. Why should he retire? To comeback like Schumi when he'll be out of sport for three years?! Or Gronholm... Loeb's the best and he can drive for 5 seasons on top for sure.
To be honest i would like to see how he would do at another team. To see if he can win championships elsewhere.
he will not come back if he retires...maybe some events for fun.Quote:

If he wins the championship this year he is going to be the BEST motorsport personality ever lived...NONE other motorsport driver/rider managed to win 8 concecutive titles....accept it.
If he did do a few select events in any WRC car, I assume they would be tarmac and he would win them, probably frustrating some of the full time (lesser) drivers. I'm not sure when another driver will win in Germany for instance.
time out of the sport makes you slower...Marcus in sweden was a good example...Rally is a dicipline that requires contstant touch to be able and be competitive at the highest level.
If he leaves the sport he never going to win again, you may have the talent but the risks you take in one off events are far less.
It's better for Loeb to take some pressure off testing one year with VW.
Then get back on stage with a brand new car developed by himself.
Nobody expects miracle to happen in short term.
But just in here lies the surprise.
You never know.
Miracles Do Happen.
I for one will be please to see any name other than HIS at the top of the drivers table at the end of a season for once.
