    Hirvonen to Citroen, Replacing Ogier

    Mikko Hirvonen replaces Sebastien Ogier at Citroen - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

    WTF, why? Is Mikko giving up winning a WRC title altogether? Loeb won't stand for a intrateam battle....

    Its assumed that Ogier will go to Ford...

    Loeb will leave WRC before Hirvonen does.
    Life's too short to drive bad cars.

    That's what I was thinking. After 8 championship wins Loeb probably wants to do something else so he and Citroensport are probably going to groom Hirvonen as his successor.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Maybe Ogier wants a leading driver place at VW?

    Yep:

    Sebastien Ogier joins Volkswagen's WRC team - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

    Latvala at Ford, Loeb/Hirvonen at Citroen, Sordo at Mini, and now Ogier at VW...

    Should be a good WRC season comes 2013...

    What will Ogier drive in 2012?
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    He will probably get time behind the wheel of a Fabia S2000 to not lose competition habits.

    Petter Solberg joins Ford for 2012 World Rally Championship - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

    Solberg to Ford now....it's good to see him back to a factory team. Running your own team, doing sponsorship chore and still driving has to take a toll on him. Hopefully he can just concentrate on driving and hopefully bag a few race wins...
