It certainly does now... Ford hopefully can pick up someone good? (haha)
Citroend will dominate again... but will Mikko be the b*tc&?

Well, they certainly didn't sign him to be number one.Quote:

It'll be interesting to see how Finnish fans react to Mikko in Rally Finland. Citroen team has been considered as the proverbial enemy and waving the Ford flag has been an easy option for past six years. It'll stir things up. I'll stick with Ford flag though. And yes, this has been the most important thing to consider in this move.
Citroen has now the best first driver, 8 times champion, and the best second driver reliable and constant of the field.
IMO Citroen will be champion in 2012, but de driver champion is not known yet.
Ford has to do with fast guns, but not always so reliable. But Latvala learn a lot and is a lot quicker on tarmac these days.
2012 will be exiting.
yes, its going to be the first time since the start of the citroen racing team that citroen will have a clear No1 and No2 driver...bad for the sport.Quote:

seems that apart from fail drivers finland start to produce fail managers as well...lets see how long before ogier wakes up.
Great news!
Citroen is awesome team and now Mikko is part of "red army". Hirvonen is still factory team driver, nice to see Finn in factory DS3. Pykälistö was last Finn in factory Citroen?!
Now we have to think different about Citroen, there is again blue/white spirit in team!
I dont know but I think Ford will by Latvala and Tanak, with Ogier going to VW. Will Malcolm risk having Ogier in his team? Ogier certainly wont come cheap, and having JML and Ogier in the same Fords team might turn complicated, both will want to win. My guess is JML will become #1 and teh focus of Ford's championship, backed up by Tanak, who at his stage of his career will probably drive for his flights and hotel and be paid a mechanics wage with Malcolm. If Ford lose €8M AbuDhabi money who is going to find that kind of money for Ogier on a two / three year deal?Quote:
