    Malcolm Wilson said in today's Motorsport News he will have no issues applying team orders to make sure he wins the drivers championship with one of his drivers.

    "I want to win the drivers' championship and this is the best chance I've had and, from where I'm standing right now, it could be my last chance to do that."


    So clearly he isn't convinced Seb is coming back next year.

    Also interesting and something I hadn't read regarding Ogier's issues in Argentina. Malcolm thinks they went the wrong way on diff set up. Ogier had tested and liked a new spec diff in pre-event testing. They only had two sets of these differentials and Ogier wanted them both. So he was running a different set-up which just didn't work, and also led to increased tyre wear versus his team-mates.

    Could be that or maybe he is referring to tight competition...also we know that they can`t say anything. Tänak for example had the contract several months before the end of 2016 season (and yes, we can`t say that all goes according to the contracts, but...).

    Makes sense to maximise your leading driver's points where possible. I'm sure other teams will do the same ie. Hyundai to help Neuville. Winning the WDC is arguably greater publicity than winning the Manufacturers.

    The funny thing is that he already let Tanak finish in front of Ogier in Sweden and Argentina. I am not a fan of team orders but it is what it is.

    Also he might just say it to please Ogier (he sounds a bit frustrated in interviews and Malcolm wants to turn around his mood asap), as well as to remind Tanak and Evans of the bigger picture and explain he might do it so they don't get pissed during the rallies.

    Last year when Elfyn was running in the WRC 2 category at the Tour de Corse, I had a customer ask if he could buy a car like Elfyn’s. I told him he could have that very car and we did the deal there and then – with him taking the car away straight after the rally.
