Yep, MN cover reminds Brits tabloids...and reports on Loeb's departing Citro will probably became a soap opera script!

Anyway, it's nice to see Evans getting another chance. So 2nd Fiesta will be slipt between him ans Camilli?

I honestly didn't expect much more from them in 2015 in semi-private Fiestas.

PS: I'm not British, not know him personally and not a die-hard fan :D

All right, "does not belong" are maybe too harsh words but really, his only effort worth mentioning was Tour de Corse, and that was achieved on one stage where the result was anything but what we are used to seeing.

Even Mads drove well the entire rally to achieve his 2nd place in Mexico and many other good positions.

Tänak and Kubica deserve to be there on pure pace although I understand that they are debatable.

Evans has had slow results AND crashes so he can't even cut it as a safe driver.

He is for me the least deserving of last year's crop of drivers, and it is fully understandable that he is the only one who is half dropped.

The cover is comical because it looks like Msport just dropped Ogier's greatest challenger (which is hilarious).

I think Evans will use the third car which will be used by Bouffier in Monaco, no way they will be switching with Camilli, Malcolm ruled this out when there were rumors that Tänak and Evans may switch seats.

Although im not a huge fan of Evans im still happy that he got this deal. Its a very good deal for him, in the end he is doing the whole season.

The more drivers we have the more excitement we will have and its better for WRC :)

RK confirmed that in this moment Monte is his only round in 2016 season

Not exactly, "as for today".

Kubica in MC with the support of the team BRC Italy

Didn't know that Kubica was racing with italian team BRC. Is it right? I knew he was under M-Sport.
