With the announced arrival of Lancia in Rally2 and the C3 WRC Rally2 at the end of its life, we see that the roles are being divided within Stellantis! And as Maserati's financial situation is far from extraordinary, a little "sleight of hand" on the decoration and the Maserati becomes Citroën ... you can't imagine all that Citroën can do for you,🤣!

A simple renaming of the Maserati team by changing the drivers... Marketing is still great!!!

Citroën in Fe! It's pathetic. A WRC entry from 2027, that would have been awesome.
