He's a great driver,but he hasn't had a good year. So who will take his place ?? Burns ?? McCrash ?? Sainz ?? Or perhaps an up and coming new driver...

Tommy should have retired prior to joining the Subaru team, IMO.

Peugeot has to drop a couple of drivers for next year due to rule changes. I'm glad to see burnsie is back at subaru, he didn't seem to fit in very well at peugeot. Now that the subie is well sorted, he should be hella fast.Originally posted by KLCC

Gronholm's consistency issues have had more to do with the car lately than his driving, the peugeots started the year ultra reliable, but have rapidly gone down hill as the season progresses.
I think this was a good time for Tommi to hang up his helmet, ever since that bad accident in Corsica when Timmo Manisenmaki got hurt so badly, he just hasn't had the same fire behind the wheel.
