I can see him wanting to hang up being super-competitive. That shit is hella dangerous... so I can only imagine after that long having an epiphany how lucky you are to still be around hahaha.

Why, if I may ask? He is a quite sympathetic guy, judging from the interviews.

No rumors of that going around here, so I don't think so. It would even be impractical for an F1 team to hire him, he's got almost no experience in open-wheel single seaters, so no top team is gonna hire him, and apart from his money he'd be of limited use to the lesser teams of this season, as he has no experience in helping developing an F1 car.

Well, Grönholm has retired, and Solberg is not in a competive car or shape. Don't hate Seb for it. Deal with it.

Seb's cool. Just tired of seeing him win. He's the Jimmy Johnson of rally.
Grönholm is a tool.
Solberg is my hero; win or lose.
