    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    There are two ways at looking at it. Why go to a team who have consistently proved they can't get the job done!
    However, he may feel he's the man to do it. I really would be amazed if he walked away from Citroen..

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Same here, I think he's not really thinking of going to Ford. There has been talk, then Wilson made an offer. That's all. The offer is probably to drive "a" car without salary or an absolute minimum salary, like with Duval at the time.

    Citroën is the way for him.

    Are we looking at the case of too many stars in one team? To find an analogy, it looks like the Lorenzo-Rossi line-up at Yamaha in Moto GP won't last beyond this season either. I think Citroen has an important decision to make. Is there a possibility that Citroen will force Loeb to retire in order to keep Ogier? I mean they may want to take a look at the future and if Ogier moves to Ford due to Loeb and then the Legend himself retires soon too, Citroen will have failed to build up the team for the future. After all, Yamaha seems to prefer keeping the younger Lorenzo and some even say Ferrari forced Schumacher to retire in 2006. : Is Citroen going to opt for the long-term approach?

    Ogier is very talented driver but not good enough to force Loeb to retire yet. I think if Ogier wins one or two more rallies this year, it will actually motivate Loeb more because he's got another competition and better yet he's in the same car
    Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

    if given the same car with the same specs as loeb and no team orders i believe ogier can fight it out with him(loeb) and win,he doesnt look invisible these days and looking at the stage times,he is beatable.

    The job of a 2nd or 3rd driver is to take the maximum points in the title to squeeze out the first drivers rivals/ensure that the team wins the manufacturers championship.
