Too many drivers, not enough teams to go around....such a shame.
No surprise at all at Citroen news. It was a perfect storm, or perfect opportunity, to quit with their uphappy car/driver/financial situation.
The big money invested by Hyundai and Toyota have made it impossible to compete with too.
I now wonder what M-Sport will do if Ford wont commit any further than 'technical assistance'. But at least they will have their pick of the remaining drivers.
Good time to some one invest in private teams like Munchi’s?
So neuville and tanak vs ogier and evans.
For the drivers title i'll put my money on ogier, but for the constructors i'm not really sure. :p
Ogier is also in a new learning position...depends on how well the i20 will do on events it hasn`t performed for some reason.
I dont think that Toyota is more reliable next year. There are some very basic errors made in preventive maintenance that year- what lead to think there is something wrong in team management not with so much with the car.
