Who to replace Latvala in Argentina? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**PefeFoesk** · 04-13-2012, 09:22 PM

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

I'd put it on Novikov.

**neniajany** · 04-13-2012, 09:29 PM

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

**TyncTyncSah** · 04-13-2012, 09:39 PM

brace yourselves, Östberg is coming

**neniajany** · 04-13-2012, 09:41 PM

Why not give it to Kris Meeke?

**werkeeque** · 04-13-2012, 09:43 PM

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.

**bikersfan** · 04-13-2012, 09:44 PM

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

anyway, I'll bet my money on Ostberg

**Kt-viagra** · 04-13-2012, 09:54 PM

Gronhölm would be nice

I know it couldn't be though..

**Figelac** · 04-13-2012, 09:54 PM

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

**Badyalectlawl** · 04-13-2012, 10:09 PM

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

**foI3fKWv** · 04-13-2012, 10:10 PM

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.

**refsherne** · 04-13-2012, 10:11 PM

Agree. In this situation Østberg is a solid choice.

**videolkif** · 04-13-2012, 10:12 PM

Østberg gets my vote!

**wp6Eg2Fm** · 04-13-2012, 10:18 PM

Ostberg is the logical choice...

An all- Norwegian team for Ford

**HedoShoodovex** · 04-13-2012, 10:19 PM

Definitely Mads.

**LookSe** · 04-13-2012, 10:48 PM

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.

**barsikjal** · 04-13-2012, 10:58 PM

Definitely Mads.

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

**Reatclaplen** · 04-13-2012, 11:16 PM

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

**byncnombmub** · 04-13-2012, 11:21 PM

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

**investor** · 04-13-2012, 11:31 PM

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

**oronozopiy** · 04-13-2012, 11:36 PM

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.
