You'd never believe I got an A in Geography at school! I meant Walters, not Sweet Lamb - sorry!

See ei ole kindel, et Ogieri video on. Kahtlustavad, et see võib ka Ott olla.

Tabatud!
Ogier roolis. Aga testimise juures olla ka Ott olnud.

Väike tagasiminek 2005. aastasse, kui Loeb testis Focus WRC-d. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/110695

"It looked like the test was going very well. The body language between them all was really positive.

"Sebastien drove the stage in a road car, then did a steady lap in the rally car before he was at pretty much competitive speed.

"He looked very comfortable and actually came in and made some suspension changes.

"At one point it looked very much like a regular set-up test."

Ott olla täna testimisega jätkanud pärast seda kui Seb lõpetas

päris uhke lugeda, et meie mees jagas täna meistriga testi päeva


Wilson on väga võlutud nagu ikka https://www.autosport.com/news/report.p ... 7-wrc-test


M-Sport team principal Malcolm Wilson was impressed with World Rally champion Sebastien Ogier's performance as he tested the 2017 Ford Fiesta RS WRC for the first time on Friday.

Having been freed from his Volkswagen contract in order to test alternative World Rally Cars for next season, Ogier has driven Toyota's Yaris WRC and the Fiesta in the last three days.

Ogier flew into south Wales on Friday morning and spent much of the day driving the Ford in the Walter's Arena section of the Rheola stage.

Wilson told Autosport: "The test went well. The car performed very well all day.

"I have to say it looked very impressive from where I was watching from, it was great to see Seb in the car."

Four-time champion Ogier's attitude and approach stood out to Wilson.

"People had told me before how straightforward and easy he was to work with and that's just how I found him," he said.

"I was really pleased with the respect shown from him and Julien [Ingrassia, co-driver] and our guys.

"The car started the test in the same set-up it had been when Ott [Tanak] was driving it yesterday.

"Seb drove it like that, then came back and made some changes - he was keen to see how the car felt when he'd made some specific changes. And the good news was that the sun was shining!"

Wilson has made no secret of his determination to sign Ogier for 2017 and hopes the test moved a deal closer.

"He got a good kick of the ball," Wilson said.

"Now it's back to the discussions which will continue next week."

Following the test, Ogier and Ingrassia flew to Hannover to attend Volkswagen Motorsport's end of season party.

Toyota team principal Tommi Makinen had been unwilling to go into detail about Ogier's time in the Yaris

Though Ogier ideally wanted to test all four available 2017 WRC machines before making a decision, Hyundai has no space for him and Citroen has struggled to source the budget for a deal - and will not let him test without an agreement in place.

[-huviline2-]

Selles eelmises autosporti artiklis on päris huvitav lõik: "the Citroen appear to be fading fast as well, with the Paris-based firm reported to be struggling to fund a deal".
Ei tahaks uskuda, et palgarahale viitavad, pakuks pigem lisaautot ja selle jooksutamisega kaasnevaid kulusid.

Teada on et tiimikaaslased jagavad tihti auto seade kohta omavahel infot, see oleks ikka väga hea kui selline "õpetaja" ta kõrval oleks.

Ogier paneb Fordi õigesse seadesse ja võidab aastal 2017 teisi veel suuremalt.

Väidetavalt Lappi teinud diili Toyotaga mõned nädalad tagasi. Ainuke asi mis võib olla üllatav kogu selle asja juures on see, et kolme VW'ni mehe vabanemine pole tegelikult kaardipakki segamini löönudki. Kõik läheb ikkagi nii nagu alguses prognoositud. Oleks võinud ju arvata, et hakatakse eelistama VW'ni tegelasi aga ei.

Küsimuseks jääb, kas see on Mäkineni geniaalsus või soomlastele omane kindlameelsus, et esialgsest plaanist ei taganeta ja tehakse meelega kõike teistmoodi.

Eks näis kas kõik lähebki nii nagu kunagi prognoositud või tuleb mõni suuremat sorti üllatus. Mind huvitab just Mikkelseni saatus kõige rohkem. D-Mack võib ka sõitjavalikuga veel üllatada.
