A shortage of good drivers?

[EstWRC]

Most of the current drivers have only one year deal for next year, so i dont it get why he is complaining. There will be plenty of drivers available next year but i guess he wants a driver right now and of course he wants a driver like Ogier.

no mention to Latvala. Are they taking it very carefully? Latvala's contract will end up in 2016. So it's not true only Neuville and Ostberg will be without an agreement.
btw If I were VW I would not get rid of Jari-Matti and of course viceversa.

I don't know what Makkinen is waiting for. I would be already standing at Kubica's door even with Meeke available. The guy is by far the best option to develop the car. He can drive the car to it absolute limit, he has big technical knowledge, and he can drive this thing 24/7

Nothing official, but various rumors say that he did.

Bizarre story and comments from Makinen. Is he saying that Ogier and Latvala in fact do have contracts for 2017 already? Perhaps VW have locked them up to deals behind the scenes but just not announced yet? That's the only thing I can think of. Okay maybe you'd want to do it for Ogier - but I don't see a reason to do it for both him and Latvala. Certainly not right now.

Talking about those young dev drivers is also ridiculous. If that proposed Super License comes in neither of them will even be able to drive the car.

not only with drivers,also lost about the rest of Toyota programm.
He said that they will be able for testing at March April 2016,while the car hasnt be designed so far?

[N.O.T]

Makinen is a nobody and his project also, he is just going to be a bit richer along with his finish friends and that is all,

the finish rally industry is a joke since manufacturers started to realise that it is better to trust driving talent than manager lies and money.

Re: Breen - his WRC2 outings were in a 208T16 with his family firm 'Kel-tec' sponsorship, not Peugeot-Sport.

I think they must be providing some money to get the WRC drive in the DS3.

Only one rally confirmed yet though..
