i think Ogier will Remain @ M-sport this year is his year to fine tune his car. i dont think if ford is a Bad car. most Drivers need to get use to a Car before they go flat out.
Even latvala when he went to Toyota. the Car was changed, many things had to be changed to the Car. and as we know Latvala is quicker to get used to a Car than most drivers. many Drivers struggle when they change the Car. we have seen that a lot.
my thoughts
Toyota - Latvala,Lappi,Suninnen. Haninnen is not a fast driver Sorry for saying that but that is what i think
Ford - Ogier,Tannak,Evans. what reason will Tannak Have to leave ford now? its the only Team that took him and got him there. he will not want to leave that quickly
Citroen - Meeke,mikklesen, i dont see any of the others to be competative. mikklesen should be Citroens Savior. if Meeke dont get his drive up. he is screwed( i like this guy)
Hyundai- same as it is. i dont see why any of the two to not want the other. all drivers are better. and already used to the Car properly and they are leading the championship and probabbly will win it.

1. Tänak or Tanak (without ä- letter) not Tannak.
2. Since when did Hyundai start leading the championship?

3. Any team would be happy to have Breen. Citroen won't let him go.

It is bad to talk about other people wallets but you have to consider that Tänak needs to be paid from this year onwards. If someone offers him money then he will go. He can't do this for free forever.

I think Ogier will go to Hyundai for 5 reasons:
1) They are a real manufacturers factory team (only Citroen can say the same) with full support from headquarters and are not afraid to invest money in WRC (Citroen can't say the same).
2) Hyundai is maybe the strongest car around at the moment (Fiesta is very good thoug).
3) They are based in Alzenau, they have a philosophy and an attitude similar to VW...
4) I don't think the actual lineup of drivers is an issue, not even contracts are, he is the best. If you want to win championship you have to hire him. And Hyundai is there to win championships, not to think of contracts...
5) The only reason he will not go there is a full come back of Ford. But we don't know if they will and if they will, we don't know how...

I really doubt it. And even if they do, does Ogier care? He came for the win.
