[WRC] News & Rumours 2018

Wonder who the other driver in talks could be?

Seeing how Citroen are all about most PR for least money this year it's quite likely someone who will give a lot of PR and not much chance for good result. At best it will be someone like Auriol as AnttiL says or even K. Raikonen or some other motorsport person at worst just someone paying money with no chance of any fast times.

Totally don't expect any "young gun".

I think Julian said it was a local driver, so I guess Kremer or outside bet Marijan Griebel.

What's with Ph-sport's car?

In 2017 right before Argentina in April there was this interview saying how Meeke will focus on single rally wins and not on championship. 3 next rallies were crashes.

In 2018 exactly 1 year (-1 day) later there was similar interview with Latvala. I quoted those two together here for déjà vu.
( https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/1...-aims-for-wins )

Now we are 2 rallies later and it's 2/3 exactly the same. (or you might say that since it's Latvala's 3rd crash in a row it's already fullfilled).

Lesson learned:

Don't talk about focusing on single wins in april !!!

Kremer was told to be in a Yaris i believe.

and Nasser before him...

and Grönholm and Petter Solberg before that...

Lesson: Don´t believe all Toyota rumours

ps.It´s possible that Kremer starts with Yaris.

so was Portugal 18' the turning point that will see a non french driver be World Champion after 14 years?
