[WRC] News & Rumours 2019

What?! What's that suppose to mean? Isn't that what every manager does (or atleast should be doing)?

Yes he should. Maybe he was first in rallying to act like "F1" pro manager and people weren't ready for it (still some aren't). In rallying world everyone is used to relax and friendly environment.

Calling Even a bad management is very typical of him. He is harsh to everyone. Also to his own drivers. Sometimes it sounded like he was selling Hirvonen and Latvala like "the least worst option".

[sollitt]

so you are not counting Loeb and Ogier as champs. Petter is/was your last champ? or did his team mates help him?

There is a significant difference between using team orders to win and requiring them.

[GravelBen]

If a driver requires team orders to be champion they are not worthy.

Then Hirvonen deserved to beat Loeb that year, and Loeb was not a worthy champion because he would not have won without team orders.

Autosport picked up a really old news.

Really? I remember there were talks of him maybe doing this year's Sweden but it failed. I haven't heard anything about retrying next year before this. Mäkinen seems to have a lot of inquiries for rented WRC cars (Nasser, Kremer, Grönholm, Räikkönen(?)) but so far he hasn't been able to supply any.

[Tarmop]

There have been talks about Sweden 2019 also. Solberg is also interested in doing one event with (as he called it, his friends ) Yaris.

[KKS]

Gronholm talk about this at Finland on wrc+.

Mäkinen joking with Grönholm "do you still fit in your driving overalls?" Mäkinen says the Autosport article is pure speculation at this point.

If a driver requires team orders to be champion they are not worthy.

Ridiculous statement.
