That will happen, for sure. Maybe østberg has in contract that he is out of teamorders, don't think novikov has that in his.
It's not contractual - on the next round less renting fee / free spare parts etc.....it's happened in the pastQuote:

So, I'm assuming the academy boys were cancelled from running ss7? I don't see times?
Not when drivers are 2 and 3.Quote:

In 2001 the condition here were so bad or even worst than today, and the retirement by offs were much less.
In 2001 we had two retirements by accident between the mais drivers during all the event. Today we had four retirements in only 15% of the event. This is an evidence, not BS
Turning around directly would have let him stay in the rally, I think
