[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

[Eli]

So Citroen blinked first...

No surprise given they are last in the Manufacturers championship.

I still doubt Mikkelsen will be instantly fast with being out of 2017 cars and only really used to the Polo.

It's good that they have or PSA would have (if they continue like this) imho pulled the plug.

Is that you, Seb?

Yes, I'm home with Andrea and Tim right now reading rally Portugal thread.

I'd like to also add that Tänak is the best and toughest teammate I have ever had.

GRX (Grönholms team) will have brand new Fabia R5 for him, serviced by Printsport (crew that is servicing O.C Veiby)

1) They took a chance with him because last year he was comparable to Breen.
2) He's French and Mikkelsen isn't.
3) Contracts were already set up.
4) They wanted to show loyalty to their drivers.
5) Hindsight is an unhelpful friend.

Breen was more consistent and even got a podium finish.
