    I agree about the "transfer penalty". Contract is up and Ott is a free to do whatever the fu@k he wants

    So if you switch to a new employer, you ask him to pay something to your former employer because you like him?

    There is not doubt Tanak feels bad about leaving Malcom since they have been together for a long time and Malcom has always supported and believed in Ott. But he has to do what is best for him and his family at the end of the day and I'm sure he knows that if Malcom had a choice he would choose Ogier over Ott.

    I mean, obviously, half of the podcast will be about how great Kris Meeke and Citroen were in Spain

    Please remind me when Ott was being treated like a clear Nr. 2 driver? Because I haven't seen any team orders in fovour of Ogier this season...

    No, but Tanak could play hardball and say he will stay at M-Sport unless Toyota pay a fee. After all there is no shortage of money in Toyota.

    Yeah, WRC contracts are made over a weekend, it's a quick job, just write a paper, two copies, one for the team and one for the driver, both sign, that's it.
