Now I think you are putting words in my mouth. Petter's situation now is quite difficult. The situation is totally different now, and more drivers are up on Petter's level. Now Mikko, Sordo and Latvala are much better than a few years ago. So yes, of course it's difficult now. But we can't mix these discussions. These situations change every year.

So far instead of evolution we have only seen regression. He is not even as fast as Hirvonen and in terms of reliability the situation is horrible. And, of course, on asphalt he just got beaten by Solberg not to mention Ogier!

Nice to see how Solberg will do today. We can already say that from the first kilometeres his gravel performance was on par with Latvala-Sordo-level. Let's see what's improvement.

Interesting to note that the car is running "unbranded" with no Johs Lunde logos.

It's hundreds of test videos of Loeb testing a red Citröen with no stickers too... Could be thst Johs.Lunde is out but I doubt it...

What I meant was that Johs Lunde was the sponsor for the WRC rallies, there was not a lot of money in teh team this year, also all the Johs Lunde team supporter clothing is now gone. I guess next year will need a bigger money sponsor, or Johs Lunde may still sponsor but "shared"

Is Petter better off in a Ford than a Citroen.

Which one suites his driving style the most ?
