Loeb to F1 in 2010?
Hi! Today I've found this new :http://desporto.autohoje.com/index.p...2339&Itemid=51
Basically its says that Loeb is going to F1 in 2010.
Does any one knows anithing about this, or is it just BS?
--
Sébastien Loeb admits that will compete in Formula 1 in 2010, after the eighth place in Montmeló achieved during the tests made in Red Bull, being indifferent to those who considered it to change the old category.
"The heads of the teams that think I am too old, but mentally I am not: the age would not be an obstacle for me ', says Loeb, of 34 years, in statements to Libération.
The Five of the World Rally believes in testing next year will be enough for him to open the doors of the "Big Circus" in 2010: "With the testing program, to be run in Formula 1 in 2010."
On the horizon of small Gaul, are also testing with Peugeot in 2009, following the tests in Paul Ricard.mdesign 0_o

Rumours go that PSA wants to buy the old Honda F1 team and put the standard engine in it that Cosworth is making.
Citroen's boss was already mentining that Loeb wil do sportscars next year with Peugeot. Lob needs a lot of tarmac practising to convince the F1 team bosses.R.I.P. all WRC heroes

Ok, there might be something in here If Loeb goes to F1, WRC might get more interesting, and F1 also (at least for me)

Pretty amazing they'd buy an F1 team especially for Loeb. It doesn't make sense to me that PSA would enter the moneyhole that's F1 and not even drive with their own engines.

Sordo and Loeb and contracted to 2009, so is Redbull, and so are they to the Championship, so its converging for a change of plan.
