"Effectivement, le contrat allait jusqu’à fin 2020. Il y a rupture de contrat. Dans ces cas-là, soit on va au tribunal, soit on trouve un accord à l’amiable. On a engagé des négociations et trouvé un accord avec Ogier."
Ogierは2020年の終わりまで契約を結んでいましたが、どうやってそれから脱出したのですか？Quote:

Bit of karma for Citroen dropping meeke mid season leaving him high and dry now they've been dropped and left high and dry. Sorry to see a manufacturer leave but they only have themselves to blame slow development is no doubt the key to their downfall. And with no long term ambitions after 22 it's understandable that no number 1 driver would want to be associated with them

I said a few rallies ago that if Meeke weren't in it I'd be a Latvala fan.
Oh.
The slow development argument is BS; Ogier was leading the series until Sardinia and despite the hydraulic issue in Catalunya he shouldn’t blame the car or the team for loosing the title. He crashed in Sardinia, felt ill in Finland and got a puncture in Germany; adding his off in Sweden makes one to realize he was less regular than the previous years. The C3 wasn’t the fastest car around (especially on tarmac) but in 2017-18 Ogier wasn’t also driving the fastest car; his regularity was then the key to become champ.Quote:

Does anyone think the WRC is now in a better position than 2019 ?
I believe that Citroen still think of pulling out before 2020 season begins, even if Ogier was still there. Rumours start before we knew that Tanak is linked to Hyundai team. They just grab the moment and occused Ogier for leaving. Budar says that simply they can't provide development so fast like Ogier wanted, but M-Sport could do that with far less budget and far less people behind. I think that they don't want to and simply politicaly end that for all.
Sorry no, listening to Budar's interview (a pretty honest guy I think) it seems pretty clear they were to going 'finish the job' in 2020.
Lappi also said how surprised he was and how many improvements have been made ready for the C3 for next year.
But there was no way they thought they could chase titles without one of the Big 3 and that's what they needed to do to justify the programme.
