...and Ford picks Hirvonnen

[dkstz]

To partner Marcus Gronholm in 2006 Ford signs wth Miko Hirvonnen.
I guess he's driving a lot better than when he was with Subaru, but I'm not sure if would be better to pick Markko Martin ou keep Gardemaister.
And talking about Toni, that decision means he and Roman Kresta are out of the team???

Well...

Mikko Hirvonen is actually a much better driver than it seems, I'm sure Ford did the right thing when they hired him. Go Mikko, go!

Kresta has signed as test driver so Toni has been left out in the cold, despite him being a better driver????
