Triste championnat !
Le retour d’Ogier va faire du bien et va mettre un peu de piment dans un championnat qui ne cesse de s’enliser dans la médiocrité !
Espérons que ” les grands décideurs ” du ” WRC circus ” aient autant de talent pour redynamiser la discipline qu’ils en ont fait preuve pour détruire ce magnifique championnat…
