What will the Solberg Brothers do in 09 ?

Ford would be crazy to let Latvala go, once he settles down a bit more he would be better placed than Mikko to challenge Seb on a apples for apples basis I feel. He has more outright speed than Mikko just now he is going through the "crash happy" stage like many of the greats went through.

I agree, I didn't say they should let him go ;) I rate him highly as well, but att he crucial time when the future of the sport is uncertain, then points win prizes.

If Petter can bring some money (and I can't see him going without sponsorship, he's too commercially valuable) then it's effectively giving Latvala a free seat.

It sounds like Henning might warn Petter off a customer Focus, so if he does appear in a Ford I guess it will have to be the works team.

This is where the scoring rules in IRC are better, it would be quite an incentive for Malcolm to run Petter in a proper Focus if he could also score manufacturer points instead of all this M2 "Team" nonsense.

well with a load of imagination you can come to such conclusion from that story.

I don't think it takes a lot if you couple that with the fact he is looking at a 307 for an option and said he preferred even driving a 3 year old Fabia to the Focus. Are you a Ford fan too?

No, im not a fan of any car, drivers seldom bash any car they just have driven anyway, can well be that he is looking for cheaper options than Ford, if they maybe are not willing to sponsor him the same amount as before. The reasons can be many.
