If Ogier goes to Citroen i also hope Tanak stays at M-sport. He wil be the nr1 driver, and that way the Fiesta can still win rally's.
if they lose both Ogier and tanak, M-sport's future is not so bright i think.
I hope the 4 car rule come's trough, would salve all driver line up problems.
I also dont think MW will allow M-Sport to go back to being 'also-rans' in the WRC and will do everything he can to have a top driver in his car next year.
If Ogier & Tanak leave maybe he will find a way to bring in a decent replacement...
Maybe Evans could have some issues being a squad leading driver (like Meeke is having), but looking at his performance this year anyone can hope he’s ready to start winning and becoming a top contender.
For sure the ’17 Fiesta is much more competitive and DMack tyres are improving all the time, but with the same 3 events to go, last year Tanak was only 9th with 53 pts on DMack’s car, while Evans is now 6th with 87 pts. Also at the same point, Tanak had 3 offs (2 of them resulted in retirements) and Evans has only 2 (with 0 retirements). They’re only equal on SS's wins: 17 for both. Besides, in ’16 Tanak almost won in Poland and got another P2 in Wales, while Evans was close to win in Argentina and has already another P2, in Finland. Who knows, maybe he’ll do better than Tanak did in Wales…fingers crossed!
There's a rumor Ford's coming back

I've heard this rumor too...
Of course you can question how well these rumors are funded, where they come from... There were similar rumors in the last couple of years as well. We've seen more people here posting rumors that were probably just made-up by someone.
Rumours indeed... but if Ford are going to come back, now is far more likely than it ever was before.
If they dont come back now they never will...
If Ogier stays a M-Sport/Ford it's RIP Citroen. Bare some Loeb miracle happens.
