    I think that it would be imprudent to write off Mikko's chances of a title long-term. Not for 2 years anyway, maybe at Peugeot like Gronholm.
    I think that he still has a good chance of winning Sweden and Finland at least.

    Bad choice by Citroen, good bye to title for Mikko. I agree that next two seasons may be the last two years of the Citroen works operation.
    Waiting for Subaru to come back to be :champion:

    Who do you think hey should have choosen? I dont think there was any other option, Ogier basicly kicked out, Latvala continiues 1 year more with Ford, the younger guys still lack experience.

    Me too. Maybe PSA will follow him to Le mans with the Loeb racing team or whatever its going to be called? Maybe not in the same class as peugeot though

    Hey, werent you the one who was calling everyone a "village idiot" for suggesting Hirvonen may move to Citroen?

    Ha'wey Hamilton, bring the WDC crown home and the beers are on me :up:

    In my opinion Petter Solberg is still a faster driver than Hirvonen.

    Citroen who has been working with him close now for some time dont seem to share your opinion.

    More a case of Petter working with/for Citroen. Not a good comparison, Petter has never had the same resources, he can't change components every 5 minutes, he has to think of the next event and he has to give some return to his backers. Keep in mind also he had to help fund the last 2 or so rounds himself, not a comfortable position to be in. If he was in Hirvonen's situation I think Petter would be faster.

    Why would Citroen and Loeb only commit for another 2 years? Surely they would like to extract further marketing revenue beyond this point? The DS3 will still be amazing!

    If you are right it will be the end of Mikko's career; i can't imagine who would sign him after what is coming his way next year.
