Ostberg wasn’t at his best in the DS3 last time he was at Citroen but it seems they wanted an ice ‘specialist’ for Sweden ( however, they chose Mads anyway 🙃

No matter how surprising or strange, its good news for Ostberg and Citroen; hopefully they’ll manage to get 3 cars in all events.

A very interesting turn of events but I guess it's a good deal for everyone. Citroen get a consistent driver to score some points, probably get payed to have him drive too, Mads gets to drive a works car that was so and so last year so he has an excuse if it goes wrong.
I guess (pure speculation, haven't read all the details) that this is a one off deal for now though and depending on how it goes he might do a few more rallies.

Seems logical to me, a bit like using Bryan for Monte, get someone who knows the roads well and has been competitive there in the past to help boost their chances of getting some points. Lets face it, anything is an improvement on what happened there last year?
Shame though that Loeb can't enter Monte now he has the time on his hands!

I guess there's an outside chance that Elena might not quite be fit in time for Corsica. A rudimentary google search says recovery time for a fractured coccyx is 8 to 12 weeks. 12 weeks is Corsica. Hopefully he'll be okay but just something to monitor.

Oh yeah. Completely forgot they were doing Mexico. With all the jumps and rough nature of the rally that could be difficult. Originally Posted by AnttiL

I always find it amazing how often the driver behind has "so much more pace" until given a chance to prove it. I do think the team first told him he was free to pass, but then later ordered the...
