So Robert is testing, but not with M-Sport, and with a truck that has Italian plates on it, like A-Style, so I think he will go with the Italian team although it says on his truck RK World Rally Team.

With that being said, we don't know who will win between Ogier and Latvala. I don't think Ogier will lose his concentration as he did last year, allowing Latvala to close the gap, but I was still impressed by Jari-Matti on tarmac where he beat Ogier more than once!
Now we have paddle shift again, and some evolution allowed on the components, but I don't think VW will let the others close on gap because of this.
So you don't think this Sebastian is quite like the last?
Yes I think Loeb was better. No mistake whatsoever and you would not see him loosing his concentration as Ogier did (and admitted) last year! Nevertheless Ogier is the best rally driver today, that is for sure, but as I always said, he benefits from developing and driving the car since day 1 so unless you are the next Loeb, it will be difficult to beat him.
