[QUOTE=T16;1202740]If they wanted him so badly he would be in one of those teams right away, not taking privateer. And if Neuville wouldn't screwed first two events he would probably lose it with a privateer. But okay he won it, and this year also. Remarkable thing, but still he demand too much I think. We will see how much will team with no care will do for his title. Or Lappi.Quote:

If he demanded TOO much, people wouldn’t employ him. He demands what he is worth, three (or is it actually four with Peugeot?) teams have agreed this, whilst he has been a professional driver (one of them twice), and that is why he has been in their employment and continues to be paid what he is worth.
It really is silly to hear a guy on a forum telling people Ogier isn’t worth what he gets paid.
Citroen didn`t give him a test, wich was one of the main given arguments+ Matton and his attitude most certainly.
Toyota gave him a test and offered contract but it looked like a forced effort from JPN against Tommis will and it seemed like Ogier saw that.
Tommi even admitted just a month or so later that he kind of didn't want him.

I might have a strong opinion, but if I say something, i generally believe in it and I’m therefore prepared to back it up.Quote:

Maybe I hit a nerve calling your comments about Ogier being overpaid silly?
Sorry, but I think telling someone not to have kids is way more spiteful than any response I’ve given.
It's because you deserve it.
Daniel Barrit as new co-driver for Katsuta at selected events with Yaris WRC. We´ll see what this means for Evans, even if M-Sport manages to enter WRC 2019 at all.

Neither am i a citroen fan after what they done on meeke. But this is a business for citroen. And in any business theres a fall guy for problems. Unfortunatly in this case it was a driver. But the negativity deephouse brings against citroen and ogier is neither needed or Wanted by many on this forum
NOT may be a racist sexist muppet but he doesn't discriminate between rally teams, he hates and makes stupid comments about all of them.
Are we now debating on forum members' attributes? Jez the wait till the Monte will be long. very long...

Congratulations and success ...
Malcolm deserves him, he's a great man..
Never in doubt ! ;)
The big news is that Richard Millener is the new team principal with Wilson focusing more on commercial side.
Pontus is also quite big news, lets see if he does a good job of stepping up and then if he can get sponsorship to do the full season...
Looking on his website Pontus has many, many different sponsors.
Actually they seem to be small and medium businesses, not the big investors Ericsson had in F1, which eventually bought Sauber. Tidemand announcement sounds more to be a deal for Rally Sweden that somehow was extended to MC, rather than a full season campaign.Quote:

I believe they haven´t updated his website. Still Even management appears.Quote:

M-Sport changed to Sachs ZF.
Do You mean damper supplier?
yes they changed dampers supplier
i could be wrong but i remember ogier using two different damper suppliers. one for tarmac and other for gravel.Quote:

What's going on with the car that Bottas will use on the Artic Lapland Rally?

Looks like the Fiesta WRC but does not have the WRC front. R5 front?
New aero probably, don`t want to believe that has got something to do with R5, but who knows. For sure M-Sport takes the max. out of this outing in terms of development also.
Maybe just a demonstration car taped in the livery?
It looks like a Dytko Fiesta Proto.Quote:

It is the Dytko car. Real car arrives 10 days before rally.
