Perhaps he's being mixed up with his protege Tanak.

Ever heard about sarcasm and twisted humour?

Sarcasm and twisted humour? Uncalled for. I read it on another forum, French or Italian, problem is I can't find it. If I do I shall post a link.
As I hinted, I didn't think there was any truth in it.

Yeah, I may have got it wrong but it's still quite twisted humour when people are talking about Markko doing 10 rounds next year

get used to it. These stories are going to circulate as long as Markko is at least 85 years old.

Funny, the Mini drivers are both endorsed by Red Bull. I see the dakar angel for VW and it seems tangible. BMW/Mini does not have that relationship.

To change tack, I am so excited about Mini and VW (2 of my fav companies). I will be glad not to see only red and occasionally blue on the podium.

Of most interest to me is whether or not Haninnen will become a Hirvonen if VW favors their younger drivers (Mikkelsen etc).
