Ogier had to test the DS3 but finally Sordo was Loeb's team-mate in them, because the young star is speaking with Ford about next years contract. Ogier says that he don't want to change, but he is studing Ford's proposition. Maybe Citroën is angry with him...??

Ogier isn't that stupid to leave Citroën where he has bright future secured.

wont happen, they are setting Ogier up for a massive future with them when Seb is gone.

Agree he'd be crazy to leave, but maybe this will increase Citroen's offer to him...... all part of the negotiation

No, that is my life and I will never give up on it.

On Ogier to Ford thing, it's natural. It'd be both stupid, for Ogier to leave Citroen and for Ford not to propose him.

Just to pass on some information from a link to the Citroen Juniors Team - they know that Ogier has been offered a deal to join the Manufacturer Ford Team and actually believe he may accept it.

DSTM - this is from a friend so may not be entirely correct, but he has never lied to me before so I see no reason to reject it immediately. As Hartusvuori says, Ford would be idiots to NOT offer Ogier a deal - it makes sense to try and get the best drivers even if it is unlikely that Ogier will leave Citroen. But my mate also says that Citroen fear losing him to Ford due to the lure of being a driver in a leading team rather than a 'second' or B Team, and working with Malcolm Wilson. They believe Citroen will have Sordo and Loeb in the main team in 2011, and even Kimi may be promoted before Ogier.

Either way, it would certainly be interesting to see what Quesnel would say if Ogier goes to Ford

Im a fan of Citroen, but I would prefer Ogier to be in Ford.

Aslong as Loeb is in Citroen, theres now way Ogier will win or even fight for the championship, they rather have a driver with 7 or 8 consecutives championships than Ogier with one, and obviously he would end Loeb streak and I dont think Citroen's bosses like this ideia.

Ogier on Ford would impact the overall championship in a good way, so I would be glad, but in the end it's up to him, and through all those years I've seen many weird and unexpected moves from drivers.
