Confusing WRC weekend (Part 2)

I have to continue where my old blog text ended, because I have heard so many new things after yesterday and they need to be correced ;)

So, first of all, Petter Solberg have been dropped away from results of French rally, because his car was too light. That means Mikko Hirvonen moves up one position to 3rd, and now actually the real drivers World Championship situation looks like this: Sebastien Loeb and Hirvonen are 1st and 2nd, both with 196 points. Sebastien Ogier is 3rd with 193 points.

And more news: It seems like Ogier is not allowed to fight for championship, which is actually sad to hear. I hoped to see a great World Championship fight, but it seems like Citroen is going to use Ogier to play the championship for Loeb. When asked from Citroen, they want to be champions and they definitely want the name of the champion is Loeb as so many years in a row already. Sad for young Ogier who is really in the fight too, and first time in his WRC career.

What if Hirvonen and Loeb would be both out at the last rally by accident and Ogier would have a real possibility to be champion - what would Citroen do then? I would like to see...
