    They made an offer before his test. Some say "open check", some 10million, truth is most probably some other amount. I believe that only Tommi, Mr.Toyoda and SebO knows actual numbers.

    really? So if Malcom says: "On this WRC year I put own savings" it's not about Ogier salary?

    M-Sport come to 2017 year without any financial difficulties. They build a competitive car by his own and win a rallys without "extra money" (savings) for guest driver. So manufacture Ford support isn't crucial as we all think.
    Yes, if Ford put some money into M-Sport - Ogier will be happy with his salary and could stay, but it's only one thing what M-Sport couldn't manage at this time.

    Well, probably, he and Ogier never implied there was a question about the salary. The Fiesta itself has to be capable of winning every event, which can`t be done without development. Development, especially the kind that is measured in 0.x seconds lost or won on a stage, needs expensive knowhow and equipment. Also Ogier has his third car now, Tänak his second...this season. Last private seasons they used one car per season or two, with a few older cars in garage in case of emergency. 00050TH served both Evans and Ostberg, PX15HTE was used by Tänak, repaired after Portugal and then served Camilli a few events, while Tänak used an old PX12CPS. I really don`t think that Ogiers salary is the main issue, as he has quite rich and big sponsors.

    Actually it says that Citroen goes to Spain with Meeke, Lefebvre and Al-Qassimi, not with Breen. It says that Hyundai might have a four car team like it's rumoured for 2018 or then Sordo is said to want to leave WRC and go for rallycross.

    Honestly after all this time, how are they dropping Breen? Hopefully that part of the rumor is wrong.

    Well this is what happens when you have 3 cars and 5 possible drivers. Someone will get dropped.
