Obviously the titles dont have big value. And even the die-hard fanatics get overfed with these wins. Citroen should go to other motorsport disciplines and try to win there too.Quote:

and of course we all know what happened to ogier when he got equal support from the team and was trying to beat loeb. those events on their own are (again, to me) are the absolute proof that loeb's teammates have only 2 options. let loeb win, of find another team.
Le Mans is unfinished business....You will see him taking part in the future, as well as other Sportscar races.Quote:

If Citroen jumps ship, there's a handfull of drivers who suddently see themselves in problems. Hirvonnen, Neuville will have to start too look for something else, since I dont think Peugeot will be back that soon.
