This guy suggests that a surprising announcement could be made next week after the meeting in Detroit. Just weeks ago he was sure of Ogier going to Citroen
Well, tbh, his tweets then were so and so...in the last one he said there were difficulties with what Citroen could offer (he wanted a big salary for 3 years, in exchange of developing C3 into a winning car on every event).
Also, why is there a sad emoticon?
Strange, yes. Ford joining would be a great and a bit surprising announcment, but definitely not sad...Ford not joining and Ogier leaving wouldn`t be a surprise, but inevitable and sad. Or he is sad that Ogier stays at M-Sport, instead joining Citroen, homeland team of them both.
I think it's a surprised one rather than sad....anyhow, any way you look at it (considering it's true), Citroen are in deep trouble, they let go of Mikkelsen & now if Ogier stays put, maybe M-Sport's 'Dream Team' stay for another year, but Citroen.....they'll need Loeb now more than ever....and maybe they'll finally add Sainz to the mix, just to make sure everything ticks.
Lot's of M-Sport presence at the UK RallyDay today... Wilson, Tanak and Evans all there and doing lots of interviews. Hope someone got some info out of them about the team line-up for 2018.

As Fast Eddie says, Malcolm was interviewed today at Rallyday here in the UK at the Castle Combe circuit (really nice event, very well attended both by fans and personalities. I had a great time!), there were no great revelations but he said of the situation "we're still discussing various options [with Ford] on how we can move forward". I've recorded the interview and uploaded it to YouTube here if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzOVuNo8-oE
EDIT: Forgot to say, it was good to see you again Allyc85, no doubt see you again on GB!
