Yksi tämän vuoden harvoista positiivisista kuskiuutisista (peräti ainoa laatuaan?), ja sekin meni munille?


Following the media release issued by Motorsport Italia, informing that Armindo Araújo and Miguel Ramalho will no longer be part of WRC TEAM MINI PORTUGAL, Armindo Araújo considers that now is the right time to issue this statement after compiling all the facts and seek the truth. Therefore he would like to clarify all points linked to this matter:

I- There were clear objectives set for the project in 2012. We started the season with a very interesting result in Rally Montecarlo but only in Rally Sweden we launched theWRC TEAM MINI PORTUGAL. From Rally Mexico onwards, Motorsport Italia attempted to camouflage all technical problems and blame the faults of the same, to the drivers Armindo Araújo and Paulo Nobre. From this moment also, Motorsport Italia, tried to object against my Media Releases, arguing that there were negative mentions to the team and Mini itself. I would like to reiterate that all Media releases were previously approved by Mini Portugal and in no circumstance there were negative references to them. I always defended the team and brand with whom I was linked to.

II - To prepare the asphalt phase of WRC and the new MINI JCW WRC version 01B, I was invited by Motorsport Italia, on the 17th of July, 2012, for a test program to be held in Italy between 10th and 12th of August. Only on the 8th of August, 2012, I received the GPS coordinates of the location. During the three days I’ve stayed in Italy and I was not allowed to test the car, instead I was put under pressure to declare myself sick and to take no part in Rally Germany - in attachment proposal from Motorsport Italia, of my incapability, writing their own text to communicate the "disease". At that time I could not believe I was receiving such proposal or suggestion.

III- On the 15th of August 2012, Motorsport Italia, requests me permission to use the license of WRC TEAM MINI PORTUGAL - which exclusively belongs to Armindo Araújo,Lda - to be used with another driver up till the end of the season. For obvious reasons I declined the permission to use the license. On the following day the 16th of August, Motorsport Italia informed me that I am no longer the driver of the team or any associated team of the group starting from Rally Germany and till the end of the season with no justification or valid explanation.

IV- On the 17th of August, I informed Motorsport Italia, MINI Germany and MINI Portugal that I have collected all necessary documentation about this matter and deliverit to my team of lawyers, lead by Dr. José Pedro Gomes, who will take all necessary legal actions to protect my name and as well the project which I respect enormously and now sees national values in stake.

V- It has been always my position to seek for the truth and respect the justice. All my Sponsors have been already informed of all the facts and support me entirely on my decision to take this matter to legal action. For all said above, and due to the straight link to my image, myself and my sponsors agree to remove all the advertising of car number12 of WRC TEAM MINI PORTUGAL.

To finish, I would like to inform that according to my duty, I have reported all the facts to FIA, and I am currently waiting for their feedback, believing that the truth is above all, and the good name of myself, my Sponsors and my Country is reestablished and honored respectfully.

Eli siis Minin kuskin vaihdos hoidettiin italialaisittain?

Missäs muuten Henning ja Matthew on, kun eivät ole juuri ajelleet tänä vuonna?

Niin paljon tuohta ja mestaruuksia, ettei Loebiäkään jaksa kiinnostaa:

- En tarvitse enempää rahaa, ja mitä minulla on enää todistettavaa? Olipa minulla kahdeksan, yhdeksän tai kymmenen mestaruutta, sillä ei ole juurikaan merkitystä minulle. Jos minusta tuntuu siltä, etten halua jatkaa, olisi typerää jatkaa vastentahtoisesti, Loeb sanoi hiljattain ranskalaiselle Echappement-lehdelle.

Matthewilla murtui jalka alkuvuodesta ja on vissiin ainakin osin saikulla vieläkin.
Kyllä se Mökkiperässä käveli emäntänsä kanssa hyvin virkeästi, eli voi olla että "saikku" on tätä perinteistä laatua. Eli loppupeleissä ei oo mitään, mut parempi syy sekin kuin että lahjat ei riitä. ;)

Nasser kumoaa Qatarin Citroen-valtaukset:

Nasser Al-Attiyah has firmly scotched rumours that he might be involved in a bid to take control or ownership of Citroën Racing: the rumours surfaced again during the London Olympics, where the Qatari won bronze in the Skeet shooting.

Qatar certainly has enormous investment funds available: Citroën's parent PSA group has had heavy losses, is closing a major plant and shedding thousands of jobs.

But Yves Matton, the Citroën team principal, pooh-poohed the rumours of any take-over earlier this month: now Al-Attiyah has confirmed this:

"We are not thinking about this, we are thinking just to promote Qatar from my side. This was not our plan."

In the interview, Nasser also confirmed that he is planning to contest Dakar 2013 in January and will miss WRC Monte Carlo:

"I prefer to do Dakar - the weather there is much better than Monte Carlo!.... I have a plan for Dakar and I will start WRC in Sweden..."

..ja Britannian MM-ralliin on saatu viivalle kokonaista 30 autoa. Kun lippujen hinnat on luokkaa kalervokummola (3 päivää = 150 €) niin tuleehan siinä aika suolainen hinta per ohiajava auto.

Olikos tämä nyt toistaiseksi viimeinen vuosi Walesissa ja ensikaudella Englannissa vai muistanko ihan väärin?
