Who to replace Latvala in Argentina?
 

World Rally Championship - News - Injury forces Latvala out of Argentina

I'd put it on Novikov.

Oh dear, I bet this has gone down well at Ford! That`s it for him and the Blue Oval then?

brace yourselves, Östberg is coming

Why not give it to Kris Meeke?

My guess is Tanak. Future planning opportunity for Malcolm, preview of the 2013 Ford line up, PS and Ott Tanak, Malcolm knows that Østberg and Novikov will be pay drivers.

Oh no...
I've really hoped that Petter become a first driver, but not this way.

anyway, I'll bet my money on Ostberg

Gronhölm would be nice http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...lies/smile.gif I know it couldn't be though..

One more vote for Østberg - fast, private, knows the Fiesta well

Agreed he is a very solid driver, though Novikov has to be worth a shot with his new found ability to finish rallys!

Why give it to Meeke and make a new contract with someone who hasn't driven for a while when the team has Östberg, Tanäk and Novikov to pick from. I'd give it to Östberg.

Agree. In this situation Østberg is a solid choice.

Østberg gets my vote!

Ostberg is the logical choice...

An all- Norwegian team for Ford http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...lies/smile.gif

Definitely Mads.

MJW is right, Tanak is groomed for the position. Ostberg is faster now, but is a paying driver and will stay that way.

That whole Jari as #1 driver didn't work out. This may be Petter last chance to fight for the championship, like he said, I'm crossing my arms, legs, everything.

I would put Mads, but I guess Tanak also has chances; even more than Novikov. (my opinion)

I really hope Mads will take the place, but I "fear" Tanak will take it instead...

Meeke would be a great gesture but sadly wont happen. Tanak will be good for some points though..

If we see Novikov, M-Sport wants some money
If we see Østberg, Ford wants some points
If we see Tänak, Ford/M-Sport will check if he is ready for a manufacturer seat

Just my 2 cents http://www.motorsportforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

How about PG? He´s been in some events now and is fast and looks more reliable at present.

Östberg of course if rules permit.
