    There's enough nonsense on here without just saying it for effect.

    There was already talk in Sweden about whether Ott would be asked to step back to let Ogier score more points. So I don't think it's too stupid what danon is suggesting.

    If/when the manufacturers title becomes more a direct possibility then Malcolm may get more of an itchy trigger finger on those team orders. But it's too early to worry about that yet. So far I don't think Ott could have done anything more in 2017.

    People will always talk about that, because Ogier is multi champ..but whether it's being discussed at M-Sport is a different matter. I certainly don't see them choosing to run a car on 3 cylinders instead of just telling a driver to check in to a TC late.

    I don't run with the idea of JML cracking at VW because of team orders either. It was clear that he just wasn't comfortable in the team and that they didn't really like his style (he's all touchy feely, not empirical like Ogier is and like VW would want)...y'know, that and the fact that Ogier is obviously a quicker driver. Team orders would have been very low down on the list of reasons he couldn't cut it with the Germans.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Ogier is a more consistent driver. Quicker... maybe not.

    - all it takes to crack someone is make him uncofortable... and wait...

    in human psychology the breaking point is a moment of stress in which a person breaks down or a situation becomes critical and the intensity of environmental stress necessary to bring this on varies from individual to individual

    the rest is history

    Well if you base your opinions on hunches and hope, then maybe not. If you base it on the empirical evidence then Ogier has been consistently quicker over a number of rallies/seasons.

    You think that VW purposely made their driver uncomfortable from the moment they employed him? That's a pretty wild conspiracy theory, I'm interested in why you think they'd do that.
