They'll fire Ogier and win the championship with an autonomous car? Hiring Ogier was actually only to collect data of his driving style, which will be then fed into the driving computer

Perhaps because Jim Hackett is still very focused on selling waht they have to offer today. In his first comments on the job he says the autonomous and electric strategy has to be completely rethinked and that shall take time. I think those are some strong comments from a man who clearly was very involved in that strategy before, just because he was the head of the autonomous department doesn't mean it's his solo focus.

Atleast I think so, but the data about the effects of such investment on their sales only they know. It's hard to really know how much "bang for buck" they have in the WRC, seeing as they can easily spend a quarter of that on some other series. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder if a Tanak or Evans win would also help convince Ford, making the success of the Fiesta and M-Sport not appear so reliant on Ogier ?
They are both coming close...

Just focus on 27. Full focus. No new manufacturers will come before then, and no new ones will come if clear new regs aren't settled for 2027 by the end of the year (latest first few months on 2025)....
