    What about Juho? My guess is Nasser as a 3rd driver, like Khalid?

    Should have said Nasser will step up to management in 2013. which im guessing would make space for Juho

    WRC 2012
    Red Bull VW-Polo: P Solberg / Al Attiyah
    Ford Abu Dhabi-Fiesta: Latvalla/Hirvonen
    Mini-John CooperWorks: Meeke/Sordo
    Total Citroen-DS3: Ogier / ?

    We can expect Loeb to retire, so who will fill the second DS3? Hanninen is the only real rising star in WRC, winning on tarmac and gravel. Ostberg can be the second best, but lacks consistency of being real fast on all terrains at the moment. Hanninen would be perfect for Citroen, but VW group would not be that stupid to let Juha fly away to Citroen.

    hanninen winning in village and b-class championships on tarmac and gravel...there is a difference. He is fast and it would be nice to have him in the wrc because he can develop but currently i think he is slower than Hirvonen.

    Juho would be faster than Nasser but? Petter needs to win some rallies before I think it would be a good business idea for VW to get Solberg. That said, I'd love Solberg to be there in 2012

    I agree with NOT that Hanninen isn't ready to be a main Citroen driver yet. I think Loeb may do one more year to be honest, especially if he doesn't win the title, and by then a 'New Ogier' may be found. Just thinking out loud, maybe Novikov is an option if he adds consistency? Or Juho to VW and Petter to the main Citroen team for a year? Or maybe Sordo back to Citroen and Hanninen to Mini? Whatever happens, 2012 should be interesting and may be the start of a new revolution in the WRC if it all goes well. 4 teams - two of them proven to be competitive, one an old classic and the other with a massive budget and reputation.

    It's very hard to judge speed of drivers which are not fighting against each other. Hänninen and Hirvonen fought once in similar cars but on different tyres, Hirvonen won. Hänninen and Solberg fought once on same tyres and Hänninen won. Solberg and Hirvonen fights regularly. There are too many factors and one of them is that regular competitors know particular events very well. That's one of the reasons why coming into WRC is very difficult and usually takes few seasons.
