    At least Budar sounds wiser than Matton: they aren’t exclusively betting on Ogier and they’re aware that signing him can only be possible IF he’s interested.

    Again, after having a test unreasonably refused and seeing Loeb, the archrival, taking the spotlights while Matton was trying to convince Ogier to become Citroen lead driver, how can he still be interested? Sometimes it’s not only about the car or the money; it’s also about respect, and Citroen failed to show it.

    The positive side of the story is really the prospect of Citroen still being there in 2019. Fingers crossed.

    Of course Ogier will not be interested in it. Why would he start all over again. Look where he got M-Sport, they will get upgrades and if he wanted to leave the team he wouldn't bother to improve the car at first.

    How about he's improving the car to win the title this year? Not like he is leading now is he.

    Not yet. Needs experience on both 4wd car and WRC events. But he has talent. Unfortunately unreliable car not giving him the experiece he needs. Mistakes also, but at that stage of career, they are inevitable

    That was actually one interesting part of the article, that an important engine upgrade will come but not until 2019

    If I was Citroën, I would keep Breen and get Tidemand + an experienced driver. Sordo might be a good one, for feedback on the car, helping the young guns and getting constant good results.

    This was an interesting part

    Budar will assess Craig Breen and Mads Ostberg as a potential line-up moving forward.

    Breen remains under contract and will now likely tackle all remaining 2018 rounds, having originally been due to miss Rally Catalunya for the final part of Sebastien Loeb's three-event comeback.
