Silly Season 2015

[stefanvv]

It looks decent to me. Not far from Ford and Hyundai. But there seem lot of work for VW challenge.

Rumours of VW and Huyndai starting junior teams next year.

Tidemand, Paddon could be there.

Raikkonen just officially said he finish his career in Ferrari when times come. Back to WRC in Citroen looks possible. Petter to Ford with a little help from own sponsors?

Ostberg? Back to Ford?

Mikko? For sure he´s enough fast to be second driver whereever there is place.

If Huyndai lures Ogier Mikko might be third driver at VW after JML and Mikkelsen?

[Miika]

Ogier "considering Hyundai" is only about Ogier milking more money out of VW, no way will he throw away the best drive there is at the moment. And Mikko to VW is definitely in line with the title 'silly'.

i'm sorry but with all due respect to Hirvonen, he needs to give up his place, who will replace him, I don't know if it's Ott or whoever but he needs to give it up, all season long he hasn't been fast enough thorugh the most of the season, i mean only one podium in portugal, he was consistent but in being 5th. as for the other Drivers, if Hyundai don't offer something special, looks like VW will stay with their lineup, as for Hyundai -Thierry & Juho (with Paddon and Sordo in the N team). M-Sport-if they get the funding, Elfyn and Ott. Citroen: Kris & Petter.

If Ostberg gets dropped and Shitroen keep Krash Meeke on for another year to try and best Kubica in the crashing title (most number of crashes in a season, most number of crashes in a single rally, most number of crashes in a single leg of a rally) of the WRC he should feel pretty hard done by. He's ahead of Meeke after Australia in the points (OK only one place and 7 points), but I fear the kind of thing that matters to the team is what driver offers them the most monetary benefit (through marketing etc. not just bringing in sponsorship money) not who will deliver rally results.

And we all know that Jost almost runs the WRC....... Well not yet.....

I'd love to see Toyota back - but watching the videos of the Yaris testing; hmm, it's hardly jaw dropping is it? Shouldn't a WRCar leave you stunned?

How about this?

I have to agree. With all due respect to him, he is just struggling, and fans are struggling too watch him struggling. This is not what WRC is about.... finish. Better to give up the place for some young driver who is trying for something...

Sorry, but are you serious? Meeke has proved this season that he's the third fastest guy behind Ogier and Latvala and that's with far less experience. He's definately the best option for Citroen at the moment and Yves knows that

[rage82]

What about Tanak in Citroen as second driver, learning the car in the first year and Mads back to Ford?

So you´ve found a faster driver then? hasn´t been fast enough? Well, not to win, but podiums on PS says a lot. So you think Ott can axle his place? Well not yet.
