[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[smsgrafica]

With Ogier possibly going to Ford and Latvala to Toyota, we would have a dream setup for the Championship, with 4 drivers capable of winning consistently on every surface:

1.) Ogier/Ford
2.) Meeke/Citroen
3.) Neuville/Hyundai
4.) Latvala/Toyota

This would make a very interesting battle, with Paddon/Hyundai, Sordo/Hyundai and Tanak/Ford as an added bonus.

I won't count Mikkelsen, because his chances to get a race-winning seat are IMHO very slim as of today.

Yes, Toyota seems to be uncompetitive at the moment, but the other 3 cars should be on level terms, so it will make for a great fight!

On the other hand, if Ogier goes back to Citroen, it would leave Ford a bit exposed and I would suggest Wilson to get Mikkelsen, because he's proven he can be very quick on every surface, too.

So, all in all, I'd prefer an Ogier/Citroen and Mikkelsen/Ford combination. It would spice things up even more...
