2022 WRC News & Rumours

The timing is a bit of coincidence though. Incidents like that can be the final straw.

It's nothing to do with performance, crashing or otherwise. This has been on the cards since Monza.

Some positive things in the accident: the car did not end upside down in the flowing river and the hybrid unit did not show red light. It’s a difficult situation for the team to say the least. Not to Adamo though as he is heading to Formula One…

If Adamo's exit really has been 'coming for months' then the final timing of it is the worst possible for the new man. Talk about thrown in at the deep end...

Yes, rumours about Alfa Romeo if I'm not mistaken were appearing about a month ago. Who knows...

"For those thinking this has anything to do with anything, you’re wrong. This is Adamo’s decision. Fact.

He made it last week and informed Korea and the team soon after."

First rumours were out at the end of summer so this is a long term issue and decision

I posted the rumors when I heard them at Barum. That was the first time I saw anything.

It was also Loeb's decisions not to run 2020 Sweden for example. After bad Monte ( and bad Sweden the year before) Adamo asked if he really wanted to drive. Not hard to read between the lines ...

This could be the same. After the worst possible season ( not a single one of the 4 titles they targeted before start of the year (WRC+ WRC2 driver and manu). Someone maybe "asked".


The biggest risk is now for Solberg. New leadership maybe not die-hard fans of his like Adamo is. Unless he starts delivering some results he might have a problem with contract ending at the end of 2022. I warned about this already some 8 months ago.

You wrote here about a month ago that Adamo is staying for sure?

But I have a sneaking suspicion this isn’t the last we’re going to hear from Andrea Adamo in the World Rally Championship…
