Citroen WRT

If Citroen can't get Ogier or Neuville they would need to get one of the Toyota guys and seems like it's a happy relationship both ways. So yes, Paddon, Sordo and Evans are their next best bets - the only rally winners available - considering that Mikkelsen is already signed to Hyundai. It does not look good for Citroen.

I was suspecting a crazy silly season already ongoing but it seems all quiet on that front.

Allegedly Pierre Budar has indeed had conversations about Lappi with Erik Veiby.

For sure Lappi is out of contract at the end of this year.

Maybe also Pontus?
Would be smart of Even Management to get him matched in WRC, even if he is to be with a possible VAG push in the top class!

Lappi would be nuts to leave Toyota for Citroen (who’d of thought we’d be saying that two years ago).. but it might drive his price up.

People said that about Tänak leaving M-Sport and how did that turn out?

It's not easy for Citroen at the moment, Loeb seems to be done with WRC and they desperately need a winning driver like Ogier or Neuville, but are they any intrested to join now when they have seen how things are going with Citroen? My bet is no, unless the pay check is insane and that's what they aim for.

Lappi is kinda hit or miss, Citroen might end up with a gold mine - scoring a winner. But it could also be a big miss which would end bot Citroens and Lappis paths in WRC.

Breen, Ostberg & Tidemand line up seems way too weak for me but maybe Latvala would be the answer? Tanak, Lappi and the 3rd driver (which could be a Tidemand) would make a good line up for Toyota and this way Latvala would get back his #1 in a team.

May be, but consider a perspective for Lappi to be N1 in a team?!?

Lappi was trouncing Loeb in CORSICA is a Toyota. That should end the conversation.

Can You translate that in english please?

I wonder if Loeb does well in Spain if that will change a few peoples minds about whether Citroen is a worthwhile risk?
