    Yeah right, Jouhki suddenly ran out of money

    Clever PR from Jouhki team if they made people believe that Ford or M-Sport is paying something instead of them, BS

    Run a third car, would be good, but it's too expensive for teams. Citroen wanted to run a third car for Sordo but budget wouldn't allow it, so Sordo gets to drive the second car. M2 teams are a good option, but are expensive for young drivers, so not great.

    But the situation now is not good IMHO. There have to be better second drivers around than there are currently in WRC. A time not so long ago you had drivers in one team competing for victories, championships even. Now all teams have a clear second driver. Of course youngsters need time to learn. But they should have learned before they are in a factory seat. And I'm not saying you should cut them no slack, but now they get cut too much slack.
    There have to be more Loebs and Gronholms out there.
    Rest in peace Richard

    Rubbish! Citroen can afford it, but with no manufacturer points for more than the two nominated drivers, what's the point?

    Is it? Ford is actually running 6-9 cars, and without any probs.
    Martin Holmes about Sebastien Loeb: "Misery is being beaten when you just can't understand why".

    Yes, and Colin McRae often blamed his car for being too slow

    Yeah and I think M-Sport is making a good amount of money out of that, (from henning and the munchis guys) not from wilson or latvala...

    I think (i know for sure) we do't understand each other.

    Latvala:
    - In 2003 his entry fee pays by M-Sport, because they see in him a good driver
    - Ford invest this year a (little) money in him. Because they prepaired him for the future.
    - Latvala is a Ford driver.

    - Manager of Latvala do know where the sponsors are and can pay a car of Latavala in 2003 and 2005.
    - Manager and M-sport do a great deal. Latvala an M-sport brings some money in and can drive for Ford. Jouhki and Ford happy.
    - Remember: Latvala has not got enough money for this year. Ford will he drive all rallies.

    Mikkelsen:
    - M-Sport pays entry fee

    - Driver and sponsors pay car.
