Mads Ostberg

[litifeta]

Mads is only 26 years old.

He has had to fund his career nearly all the way so you can imagine the stress. He has had problems with cars, and suffered with pacenotes causing accidents before.

It would be great for him to have the confidence of a paypacket and knowing he could have the confidence in pacenotes again, but it is a tough gig when you know that if you crash, your career is on the line.

Mads is also cognitively strong (i.e. smart), so if it is one driver that actually can change/improve it is him.

After 74 WRC starts it's tough to keep making excuses for Mads. Honestly not buying any of the above.

And it's a catch-22 situation because he's not shown that he's good enough for an elusive paid drive.

Will Mads get a seat in Citroën? Or was this season his last?

He has said that he is doing all wrc rounds next year. But not in witch car/team.

This is exactly the issue faced by any driver not on a full time contract, and one that we've spoken about before.
The confidence provided by the security of continued employment regardless of outcome is a significant advantage for those lucky enough to enjoy it.

Why not ten offered rounds in DS3 and paying for the three other rounds as third driver in DS3?

[skarderud]

I put my cents on mads in the 2. car in 10 rounds and a 3. car in the other 3 rounds. And in a DS.

Yeah, that´s what I had in mind too.

When you say "10 offered rounds" what is the background to this offer. Is there any article or interview where 10 round offer is referred to ?
