To finish first, first you must finish. Citroen is a master of this.
If Petter did not have that freak occurrence, it would have been more interesting to see where SWRT with their new car stood in relation to Citroen. Next race perhaps.
It would be good to see Gronholm, Loeb and Solberg consistently battle throughout the year. If Hirvonen and Sordo can also find themselves in there, then all the better. Lets see if Atkinson can also put on the gloves and enter the fight. |

You say this like it is only happening this year. The most winningest driver of races in WRC has won all his races with Citroen.  |
