It all depends what deal he's signed with Wilson. Don't forget Ott would likely not be in the WRC right now if not for Malcolm. Look how many chances he gave him and how much work he's put into Ott's career. He's also a shrewd businessman so it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's written into Ott's past contracts that MW will take a cut of future earnings.
You get the same thing in football all the time with sell-on clauses. I have no idea whether this is true but I mentioned it on the forum about Ott a couple of weeks ago.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Correct Simmi. It's like a youth footballer being developed by a small club then a big one comes in and gets all the benefit.
Why would M-Sport bother developing young driver's just for rich teams to pinch them for free...

So, what does Tänak exactly say in the ending of his blog post? Something like "the Estonian media makes jokes about my future but I'll continue in the best team next year"? What does that mean?

Tänak said that Estonian media picks up tweets (and also forum talk ) too easily and presents them like 100% truth. He also said that he will join /continue in the strongest team, some little details to be cleared before announcing. So...is Toyota really the strongest team and being upset with those tweets that put him in the Toyota. I think there`s something else.

Best/Strongest team by results right now is clearly M-Sport.... even without the "continue" part.

Haha, the plot thickens! Whatever happens this is a fun silly season, for those who know what's going to happen and for those who don't.

Maybe, but I don`t think this is the case atm. A little mistake by me actually, he said "the best" not "the strongest". And being a M-sport employee, which is quite comfortabely in the lead of both championships, I don`t think that any other team could be called "the best" atm...maybe Citroen will take next year with ease? Who knows, it`s possible, but imo a bit unreliable cars that are 3. and 4. in the championship can`t be considered the best even now, let alone in the future.

Well he didn't mention much about Meeke surprisingly. Mainly about Ott and Ogier.

One of the interesting things Colin mentioned was the thought of Ogier waiting to see how the Citroen does in GB before closing his deal.
He also mentions Tanak having a hard time at TGR since they're an all Finn team and he is Estonian. I'm not sure this would be the case, but who knows.Last edited by racerx1979; 10th October 2017 at 22:08.
