[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[smsgrafica]

Well, the article said Red Bull wanted to buy VW Motorsport, so I think it'll be complete with all the people and infrastructure. If so, then there would well be development for many seasons.

That said, I don't think it'll happen.

if VW is logical, it will not happen.
Their withdrawal does not seem to be an issue of money but a matter of brand image: they want to associate their competitition image with electric engine.
If they let the team to Red Bull, it would be a non-sense with this strategy.

Moreover, i think the hypothesis of a Red Bull team has yet been studied before the withdrawal.

That 'IMO' is not 'your' opinion...

This is the original story:
http://www.mtv.fi/sport/ralli/uutine...ululla/6156614

Latvala's manager Timo Jouhki says that he's been in contact with all the teams and says that it's possible that everything will be sorted out before Australia.

Jouhki also believes that the VW/Red Bull rumour is just a rumour, no truth in it. Jouhki thinks that VW will not homologate the 2017 model at all.
