Budar actually...
"You can imagine in our situation we are going to consider all of the opportunities to have a new driver.
"If you tell me Ogier is on the market and Ogier can be interested by Citroen then, of course, I would be interested in Sebastien Ogier. That's for sure.
"But we have to consider all the opportunities. We have to define our driver line-up for next year."#M-SPORTER

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.Rally addict since 1982

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.

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.
