Solberg ...I hope you ain't talkin' bout Solberg, he won Subaru the 2003 WRC Championship and came in second last year behind Loeb. How can you say he stinks, we have'nt seen Sarazin compete to his full potential yet. It's his first year in WRC with Subaru and his cherry needs to be popped. Solberg is always good at tarmac 
Do any of you guys know what happened to Mikko Hirvonen, did he get dropped from SWRT? Why? Is he rallying for another team? I thought that kid had a lot of potential and he got dropped like a rock.

Mikko Hirvonen has been replaced by Chris Atkinson and Stephane Sarrazin. Stephane ran in Germany, Corsica and Catalunya last year, getting top ten position and in Catalunya he overhauled Solberg in a WRC2003 car, he was a F1 test driver for Prost and Toyota. Another detail is that his car was shod with Michelins, so that helped a bit too. Atkinson did a good job in Australia last year, doing better than Hirvonen, I guess SWRT people were expecting more out of Mikko given that he was a full year with Subaru....more experience with the car. I also think that Mikko has potential, just needs to learn quicker...
