Agreed.
I wonder if French fans will see him as a betrayer if it’s him leaving first of all and making with it Citroen to leave

Sad day for WRC. And if i were to look one person to blame, i would point to Mäkinen. It baffles me how he could not keep fastest driver in fastest car with such a budget as available for him. Maybe it is because his wifes management style, maybe because Märting demanded R5 program and that broke the deal, or maybe Mäkinen underestimated Tänaks options and overestimated his own position. Other chips just follow the first - Ogiers departure makes sense as surely in TGR he has bigger chances than in Citroen. Lets now keep fingers crossed that Evans stays in M-Sport, otherwise it will be 2 team series, instead of 2,5 team series.
Ogier will be announced as a Toyota driver on Monday:

In a weird sort of way, Citroen has sacked Kris Meeke twice.
Craziest silly season ever!
This won’t be topped! Only if the news come that WRC as series is done and dusted for all
In a way, Tanak has handed Ogier the title back already imo.
Seb will win the title in the most driveable car - which the Yaris is.
