Just read a little article on wrc.com outlining the shift in seats for '09.
Obviously we all know about the Citroen Junior team. Despite Rautenbach being the only one to do all 12 events I expect him to get his arse handed to him by Atko and Ogier. Novikov will certainly be in the running for biggest repair bill of the year but he is meant to be insanely quick.
Stobart team of Wilson and Aava. This will be interesting, just like Rautenbach I expect Aava to destroy Wilson. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that Matthew Wilson is just not a world championship level driver. Yeh ok he is only 22 but Jari, Galli and Duval all were way faster in the same equipment and he has been on the World circuit for 3/4 years now?? When you have guys like Gardemeister, Duval and Petter Solberg looking for seats, pootling around at the bottom of the top 10 isn't acceptable. Will there be implications if Aava, after only one season of WRC, shows a clean set of heels to Mathew?
