Still makes no sense to bring in the main man Ogier and then pay for only one team-mate. I bet he didnt expect that when he signed.

He got a competitive (hopefully the Lappi we saw in 2017) wingman and that's all he needs for his title fight, no one else out there anyway.
Who? Loeb, OK, some quest appearances from Östberg and that`s pretty much it. Toyota`s lineup has fast drivers capable of bringing home a podium and Tänak maybe even a victory on every event, then we have Hyundai, pretty much settled...sort of and who do we have left, capable of fighting in the top, every event?
E: Like AnttiL said, Loeb is never going to be a wingman.:D
But how much would Breen and Ostberg help Ogier with his title?

More team-mates = more options. Even Evans and Suninen were important to Ogier in 2018.
Ogier while discussing with Citroen and pre-signing:
"I wanted to know more about the commitment [from the manufacturer] and we're getting that." :D
