The demise of Mitsubishi drivers

[Mitch]

What has happened to all of Mitsubishi's exes.

Other than Tommi Makinen, no one really stepped up in the Lancer. Burns's only decent season was 1998. He finished 7th.

2001:
Makinen - Retired
Loix - No Drive
Radstrom - No Drive/Retired
Gardemeister - Ford now no drive

2002:
Delecour - Retired?
A McRae - No Drive
Paasonen - went to Skoda but hasn't done much

2003:
McRae
Paasonen
Sohlberg - He could have done well if he had a chance. In 2004 had a crap car and was 5th in Argentina due to retirements. Should get drafted again once we get more manufacturers.

None of Mitsubishi's drivers are around that much now are they.

Only Richard Burns has done something decent but that was with another car.

Look out for Mitsubishi next year

I think we are seeing a new and improved Mitsubishi. They are like Skoda in the terms that they need a decent driver. I think they feel that Galli is the next great as they are putting quite a lot of stock into him. I not quite so sure though.
