I heard he had a blazing row with Corrado whatshisface at the after rally party and got sacked on the spot!

Peugeot announced just after NQ that Delecour's services would not be required any more.

The have Gronholm , Auriol ( SEAT ) , Panizzi and Rovanpera ( SEAT ).

Perhaps his little spat in Sanremo with Panizzi had something to do with it.

They will be a very strong team next year.

.... and Delecour's usually such a reserved chap never saying boo to a goose http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Mind you I can't wait to see Auriol back in some competitive machinery.

I'm really pleased that Auriol will have a decent drive for next year I like him.
Just home it's not a good a drive as McRae!

yay for Auriol!!!! wooohooo!!!!

pooor Delecour.... NOT!!! sorry... never really liked him... but i am sure we'll see him driving something else soon enough...

I suppose that Peugeot are in a very good position. They have the manufacturers crown which bascially means they have (almost http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif) the best car and they can pick and choose their drivers. With Seat pulling out (which is bit strange - weren't Seat meant to be the 'sporting' arm of the VW Group?), there are now even more top drivers available. So why keep a driver who rocks the boat?

Tough on Delecour, but Peugeot are in the stonger position.
