Jah see 2+2 on küsitav. Oli ju see eelmise hooaja lõpus kui Ford teatas, et jätkavad veel 4 aastat. Nüüd on siis neljast aastast üks läbi seega järele jäänud ju kolm aastat. Ning ei ole ju ametlikult kinnitatud mis saab edasi peale aastat 2008, et kas Ford jätkab ka aastal 2009. Aga meil ei jää muud üle kui oodata ära selle "uudise" ametlikku kinnitust. Mina ennem seda igatahes ei traumeeriks ennast.mmargus kirjutas:Minu jaoks muudab Iltalehti nupu adekvaatsuse küsitavaks väidetava lepingu pikkus - 2+2 aastat. Vähemalt avalikult ei ole siiani öeldud, et M-Sport ja Ford oleks oma kolmeaastast lepingut pikendanud...

Millegipärast tundub mulle, et enamus fänne ennast sõitjast targemaks peavad. Vähemalt loen ma seda kommentaaridest välja. Kui juba siin sellist hala tuleb, ei tea mis siis rally.ee's juhtuma hakkab...
Markko ja tema manager on kindlasti antud valdkonnas pädevamad otsustajad kui keegi teist siin või ükskõik missugune "spetsialist" ja kogenud kaarilugeja või endine manager. Ei oma te neid samu teadmisi mis nemad kaks, ei pruugi te ka teada mida Markko tegelikult tahab.
Teadmata antud diili tagamaid teadmata on väär väita et see Markko töötuks teeb!
Ning kindlasti on väär nimetada Hirvoneni keskpäraseks, ta ei ole seda kohe kindlasti mitte ning ma arvan, et niipalju kui Focus lubab, näitab see noormees end tuleval aastal vägagi tugevalt.
Kannatage veidi ja ärge vaevake endi päid ja hingesid mingisuguse emotsioonide ja tarkade teooriatega.
Otsus, mis vastu võetakse (või mis on juba vastu võetud) on kindlasti parim variant võimalike seast!

No ei tasu ju kohe nutma hakata. Hirvonen on see aasta tublit kiirust näidanud ja kui Wilson ütleb, et Hirvonen on neile parim valik, siis järelikult ju on. Seda, et Märtin nüüd töötuks jääb, ma nüüd küll ei karda. On ju täiesti võimalik olla eratiimis, iseasi, kuidas sponsiga lood on, aga küll Turner ja Märtin midagi välja nuputavad.
gaas on endiselt laiffi
pagan, kas tõesti teeb Wilson teist korda järjest Markkole külma? :/
Varsti mul tõesti enam ei kannata Focusega sõita....

MIKKO HIRVONEN TO DRIVE SECOND FOCUS IN 2006
The BP-Ford World Rally Team has signed Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen to drive the all-new Focus RS World Rally Car in the FIA World Rally Championship. A three-year agreement will see the Finns joining fellow countrymen Marcus Grönholm and Timo Rautiainen in the BP-Ford World Rally Team from 2006.
Both pairs will drive the exciting new Focus RS WRC, which made its first appearance on this month's Rally Australia. Their debut in the car will be on January's Monte Carlo Rally, the opening round of the 2006 series.
This will be 25-year-old Hirvonen's second stint with Ford in the world championship. He made his breakthrough with the team in 2003, competing on all 14 rounds of the series as he gained vital experience of many rallies for the first time. After a year spent driving for another team, Hirvonen tackled six WRC events this year, the majority in a privately-entered 2003-specification Focus RS WRC.
He finished an outstanding third in the Rally Catalunya last month and fifth in Greece's Acropolis Rally, after leading on the opening day. Remarkably his performances were achieved in a car that was two years older than those of his rivals and against manufacturer-entered drivers. His efforts earned a call-up to Ford's official team for the Rally Finland, in which he finished fifth.
"Mikko's signing completes the BP-Ford World Rally Team's official line-up for the 2006 season," said Ford TeamRS director Jost Capito. "I believe the combination of Marcus, Mikko and the all-new Ford Focus RS WRC will be an ideal package for us. Both drivers will strengthen our WRC efforts and they join the team at a hugely exciting time for the Blue Oval. Ford has just completed its first season of a four-year commitment to the world championship, and the test and development programme of the new Focus RS WRC has exceeded our expectations to date.
"Ford has a realistic opportunity to reach the pinnacle of the sport and achieve victories with the new Focus RS WRC. By signing drivers of the calibre of Marcus and Mikko, we are making a clear statement of our intentions. We will use 2006 to further develop the new car in their hands, before a full-out bid for championship success in 2007 and 2008," added Capito.
BP-Ford team director Malcolm Wilson said Hirvonen's signing was a major commitment. "We've signed Mikko on a three-year contract because we are looking for long-term consistency in our plans," he said. "Nobody can fail to be impressed by his performances this season. During the last three years he has gained the experience and maturity and is now ready to make the step up to the top level in the world championship. In 2006 I expect him to progress even further.
"He will benefit by having a driver of Marcus' calibre alongside. Marcus is one of the sport's fastest and most reliable drivers and his appetite for success remains as large now as it was at the start of his distinguished career. To have two such drivers committed for the long-term emphasises the belief they have in the new car, and it's a huge confidence boost for us all," he added.
Hirvonen, who lives in Jyväskylä, host town for the Rally Finland, is delighted to rejoin his former team. "It's a dream come true to join Ford and have the opportunity to drive the new car," he said. "I've learned much in the last three seasons and feel ready to take on this role. The Focus RS is hugely promising and I can't wait to get behind the wheel to work again with my former colleagues."

selline tunne,et Turner üritab maksku-mis-maksab võimalikult palju pappi alati kätte saada.eelmisel aastal müüs ta Markko pesukotti mis oli selgelt konkurentsivõimetu auto ( Grönu kritiseeris terve aasta oma autot ja oleks võinud isegi kinga saada).toona ta kinnitas,et ford venitas oma otsusega ja et temal on kohustus oma kliendi ees,et tuleb võimalikult tulus leping saada.sel aastal on aga hoopis teine situatsioon:
1.Markko katkenud hooaeg
2.kolm tehasetiimi lõpetavad ja on kõvade pilootide üleküllus turul
3.Markkol pole ju suuri sponsoreid taga
võibolla ma teen talle ülekohut,aga tundub,et ta üritab alati kivist vett välja pigistada...nojah ka tema palk sõltub Markko lepingust...
