    For some fans yes, not for the Champion I think.

    Quesnel promised Ogier parity, Loeb objected. Quesnel was 're-instructed' from on high (and replaced by Loeb-placating Matton at the end of the season). Citroen told Ogier he would not be permitted to challenge Loeb and ensured that he couldn't by 'turning down the wick' for Spain. Subsequently when Citroen wanted Ogier running interference against the Hirvonen threat in Wales, Ogier inexplicably crashed his DS3 within the 1st Km of SS1 (Great Orme). Re-starting on Super Rally, Ogier then proceded to score a number of fastest stage times and won the PS.

    'Revanche' is a very real concept in the gallic psyche.

    Why M-Sport are making this public?
    Normally business proposal between both sides is enough. I think Ford Management will not be touched by this cry loud in the press.
    I think Ogier has decided to leave M-Sport, but they are trying to make it easy for the fans.

    Of course. Same owners. The articles are apparently "changed by the editors from each site, to reflect each sites identity" or something like that.

    Cheers, couldn't remember exactly what went on and who was involved.

    Don't know if it may somehow affect Citroen's WRC effort but it is been confirmed that Peugeot is working on returning to the WEC from 2020 onwards.

    Could it be that all teams are kind of waiting for Ogier's move, not sealing contracts with anyone to spare seat in case Ogier's suddenly looking for a new drive for 2018? And Ogier's waiting for Ford's announcement...
