In the national papers today Richard has warned Subaru that he will leave at the end of the season unless the MY01 WRC is on the pace straight away.
It is reported that the MY01 has suffered difficulties in practice including a number of engine failures.
Richard has signed a letter of intent to drive for Subaru in 2002 but with a get out clause if the car is not competitive this season.
The good news is David Lapworth has said prodrive have identified the engine problems and will have the sorted for the Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo starts Friday so we will have to wait and see.

So, which catches the attention most as a headline...
...Richard Burns signs letter of intent with Subaru for the 2002 season...
...Richard Burns threatens to leave Subaru if the car is not sorted...
The press can create either story from the same letter signing which will be standard in almost all drivers contracts if their managers are any good.
Glad to see you have showed intent Richard, I hope the car is on the pace and that you go one better this year.
