Petter is too much a personality. The second, non French driver in the Citroen factory car has to play second fiddle to the leading (French) driver. The second driver has to be talent and experienced but also willing to obey orders. He has to be good, but not TOO good

I think Solberg would do well for them to make up manu points on the tarmac rounds, somewhere Ogier hasn't proved himself yet.

I think Loeb will do what all french do...........run when they is some sort of competition .

Good point on Solberg. I can't think of any others from the current field that would willingly be a Number 2. I was told that even Meeke wasn't that desperate when he was test driver at Citroen.
