Also Amigo is retiring, got tired of the abuse?? Of course Xevi is not very good and I know a lot of people dont like him but still I think he is waay better that Wilson or Rautenbach. And he IS paying so he is not taking any body's seat. The only reason I kindda like him is because last year in Spain he was pushing as hell, really nice to watch!

They probably made good decision to pay Subaru only when they get a competitive car. Besides, allways exiting in-car videos from tv when he is driving.

the car he drove last year was difficult for all of its drivers to manage for reasons that have been well documented.
While he might see a future with Subaru for his own reasons, i can't blame him for not wanting to throw more money away on driving a current Impreza that he really doesn't like driving.
On the same topic, i'm really sorry to see Amigo retiring so young. I understand his reasons, but he's actually a pretty good guy and he will be missed in the service area.the wise man does at once what the fool does finally - macchiavelli

So we can't expect him on rallies before s14 comes out?

i think pons is a better gravel driver than sordo. but to get a good result, everything have to go perfectly for him. when he gets frustrated thing can go wrong. same for jari.
Neuville rear-left off the rim at the stage end. When comparing splits, lost ~9sec to Evans.
