Volkswagen keeps same drivers for 2014

Volkswagen Motorsport boss Jost Capito has confirmed that the team will contest the 2014 World Rally Championship with the three drivers currently competing in Australia. Therefore Sebastien Ogier, Jari-Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen all continue for another year in the WRC.

Whilst Ogier has all but clinched the 2013 WRC driver's title neither Latvala nor Mikkelsen have provided consistent pace to ensure their seats were guaranteed for 2014 - both have certainly made a few errors during the season so far. However Capito said " We have a great team and great team spirit and have achieved far more than we really expected. Why would we want to change anything?"

 

Judging by the first day performance in Australia Capito and Volkswagen seem to have made the correct choice!
