That's a good point, there really was no Ogier to sign.

Back in 2011/2012, there was only a Citroen, based around Loeb, and a poorly performing Ford team, there were no other WRC options for Ogier to move to.

The same can be said for a lot of the top design and engineering minds in rallying, most likely.

Now, as seen by Neuville and Meeke's decisions, there are already three teams that are making competitive offers in the market and, arguably, not enough top line drivers to sign for them.

Yeah, I agree, Toyota don't appear to be doing this in the most professional way and part of me wishes it was still TMG running it, but they've taken a brave leap at a difficult time to do so too.
