I think it's all about how a relationship with sponsor starts in the beginning of a project; KHALID AL QASSIMI wanted a seat and bought himself into Citroen that's where sponsor relationship started. As well as Red Bull did as personal sponsor of Ogier it was apparent (Sainz was also strong related to Red Bull ; Dakar Tuareg VW) that they want some stickers on the Polo.

Garbage.
The controlling families of both Red Bull (Mateschitz) and VW (Piech) have always been very close. That's why they each sponsor / support each other.
It has nothing to do with the drivers.
In fact, by default of driving with their teams, the drivers become Red Bull athletes.

Loeb says he will be testing so is taking it seriously, not just for fun...
He will do French Rallye du Var, with wife Severine calling notes. “That will give me the chance to reacquaint myself with the car,” he said.
“We have also managed to find a few slots in my schedule so I can take part in testing. I’m absolutely delighted about this opportunity to meet up with the big rallying family during the FIA WTCC off-season!”
Yves Matton, Citroën Racing Team Principal said: When I told the team today that Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena would be driving a DS3 WRC at Rallye Monte-Carlo, the news was greeted with great enthusiasm! With seven wins here, Seb and Daniel are undeniably the event’s greatest specialists, and I’m sure that they will be extremely competitive.”
Loeb will also benefit from the DS3 evolution..
“The first step will come at Rallye Monte Carlo with a new engine, using the same philosophy as the one we are running in World Touring Cars. We will also have new suspension and introduce the new paddle-shift [gear selector] that we are allowed to use next year.”Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 24th November 2014 at 16:59.

They can nominate Tanak Neuville Lappi for points and do not risk Mikkelsen and just let him go for "practice"
