That would be pretty easy to get out if it wasn't started though. Doubt it got through the cylinder head and further into the oil passages to the sump.Quote:

The clue is that he said the engine was rendered "unusable" making me think that they started it. Even if they poured it in the dipstick neck and straight into the sump, the engine should be fairly easy to clean out, unless they still have this rule that you can't open your engine during an event (I believe in this extreme case though someone at the FIA offices must be able to issue a joker to this rule).
Linari will regurarly take part at Wales Rally since they managed to get a new engine from another driver who give him the one of his recce car.
The article says also that Rendina proposed him to give him his car and renounce to participate but Linari refused.

Kris Meeke on being asked which car has been the best one he has driven yet: "The DS 3 is a fantastic car, but as a driver who wants to win you always want more."
Hmm... would he really comment such a thing if he felt certain that he would stay at Citroën next year?
"I've never driven the Fiesta, the Polo or the Hyundai so at the moment the DS 3 is my best to date."
A hint of what's to come? No later than January we'll know.
If it was South Wales I'd it was certain to be chavs. North Wales..... not so sureQuote:

I hope Kubica, then we can see how he would do with a full works car and without the pressure of running his own team.Quote:

What's different this time?
Spoke to the team manager (whom the driver is getting the money) to get a feeling from this "rumor", WRCTv Crew and a journalist
so Evans and Tänak to stay plus one more car?
I don't have the info on where Tanak and Evans are going... But this driver is joining the M-Sport team
Well the only M-Sport client with money is Bertelli isn't it?Quote:

Another rumor I've heard a couple of weeks ago is that Neuville is going to Citroën next year, but that doesn't mean I believe it's true... :)
This time gigigalli can be right. I've also heard about this driver, that should be Bertelli by the way, in an italian forum.
M-Sport serious contender to VW for the manufacturer championship than! ;)
Ah, so we'll have the Prada M-Sport World Rally Team......... Hmm.... Tanak, Evans & Bertelli.....
You have to love these rumours... ;)
So if Voice of Rally speaks of Bertelli joining the M-Sport team you believe him but when I hint of it you don't
and during this time, Marcus working in Spain

Is Wilson so desperate that he let Bertelli pay to be part of M-Sport II team or something like that? Money can really do wonders. It would mean that even a complete joke like Bertelli can have facotry seat which should never happen in a normal world.Quote:

Desperate? If you had at least ONE person offering you money to pay for a drive.... Hrmmmmm yup, you would say no jbmarcus21
If this brings money to M-Sport I think it is good. From a spectator point of view it does not change too much to have him as a privateer or in a B-Team.
It would have been better if the deal was to form this team but with two seat, where Bertelli invested some of his money on a young gun like Tidemand or someone else. But of course he's not a charity and this is nearly impossible to happen.
bertelli is at least as fast as al qassimi...so where is the problem, al qassimi pays his seat at citroen and his sponsor is also the sponsor of the real drivers...same could happen to m-sport..why not? i like the idea!
What advantage would Bertelli let alone Kubica get from sponsoring a Team like M-Sport compared to running their own cars like this year? They would spend more money in sponsorship but not pay logistics for their own team (or sponsors).... Yet still not get paid by a team but by their extra sponsors...
At least it's still better than (insert Japanese manga/anime/game franchise name here)M-Sport. :pQuote:

The difference for Bertelli wouldn't be so big actually. He's had his team of mechanics this season, but I think the rally car was owned by M-Sport and as you said he was using M-Sport cars for recce and testing. So I'd imagine he could get into a similar deal what Kubica had in 2014.
Wasn't Bertelli doing a one off season in WRC before having to go learn the family business. Was Lorenzo taking a few selfies in Wales in case he is not back in 2016 ?Quote:

I recommend watching Bertelli's RallyGB video.
In it he states that it was the last rally for his team but he is positive for the future in terms of continuing in the WRC.
Join the dots I guess.

This could be a chance for Kubica too. Bertelli wants to help MW to build a M Sport B-team, as written in German Rallye Magazin.
Today Dani Sordo testing i20Wrc 2016 on tarmac
