Thanks so tomorrow wednesday, or thursday

I guess Abu Dhabi continues with Citroën, as when the official news abour Ogier was written it said: "Citroën Abu Dhabi Team welcomes Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia"

Kidding, I'm happy the separation seems to be amicable. We will miss his "Jesus Christ Kris"

It would take a strong mind to get back into a WRCar with Meeke after so many big crashes... and espcially that last one.

What about Red Bull... will they go with Ogier ? They always seem to back the champion.

It'd be great if they stayed backing M-Sport but I cant see it...

Wasn't there some clash between Abu Dhabi and Red Bull? Don't remember it exactly, but I think it was discussed here in the past.

I heard RedBull is partly owned by people from Qatar, and the two wouldn't go together. Let's hope both M-Sport and Citroën have one of them...

Red Bull are with Ogier and Citroen.

Interesting they mention Juho. I think Juho would have been the perfect Sordo (points man) for Toyota. They now instead have 3 guys who all want to be world champions. It will be interesting to see how Tommi manages things. He's done well so far..

Would have taken again half a season for Juho to settle in and find the pace
