Sebastien Loeb considering his WRC future

Sebastien Loeb - 2010 WRC winner

From one seven-time world champion to another, the official WRC website reports Sebastien Loeb is contemplating what car he might be driving in 2012 and beyond.

According to the 37-year-old Frenchman his current employer Citroën are willing, “They are waiting for me so I have to decide in the next week,” Loeb said in an interview Autosport magazine.

“I will decide whether I stay at Citroën or stay in the rally, but with somebody else or retire and do something else. One thing is sure, I will not stop driving.”

The Citroën–Loeb partnership has proven to be unbeatable, but how long can it go on? Would Loeb consider moving to a new team, such as Volkswagen, due to enter the WRC in 2013. If so he could retrace the early part of his career and help develop the Polo R WRC just as he did with Citroën.

“Yeah, for sure, it’s also an opportunity for me, maybe,” said Loeb.

Clearly, Citroën want Loeb to stay. And it seems as though team boss Oliver Quesnel will have an answer very soon.
