Can you confirm they did not offer him a drive?
I'm sure the VW drivers negotiated with all teams and Toyota had negotiations with a lot of drivers to find stars for their line-up. There's a video of Ogier testing the Yaris WRC, struggling on a slippery tarmac road, it's not hard to believe his comments about not liking the car. It's definitely improved a lot after JML joined the team, although I don't doubt for a second that Ogier couldn't have achieved the same.

Sounds to me like Ogier walked away before they even got to print an offer. I remember Ogier saying that he will choose competitiveness over money even before he started testing either car. And why wouldn't he? Being 4-time WC in the then richest team means he has his financial future sorted out already anyway. Plus he kept going on about how much he liked Malcolm Wilson.

You dont half talk some crap.. I wish you would keep quite (sic).
Ogier, the 4x World Champion is available. But new boys Toyota only 'allowed' him to test the Yaris, but didnt offer him a drive, so he rubbished the car.
Ridiculous. He turned them down after preferring the M-Sport Fiesta.#M-SPORTER

Ogier looks a lot like Emmanuel Macron

Toyota Gazoo Racing's #WRC project's Operations Director Lauri Riipinen has resigned from the job. He announced his departure in Facebook.
Solberg to Toyota would surprise me a lot, what would happen to Pajari in that case?
