Goodness, I hope this isn't true.
For me, there way no way his wife would have made those remarks unless him not driving a Citroen in 2020 was already a done deal.
No surprise at all.
Massive shame that they are off again, but I am getting a bit sick of all the in and out that seems to go on, though I guess money is tight these days and where they are trying to go as a company (Citroen, not just PSA) doesn't tie in with a WRC marketing strategy.
Just praying Evans is also in that team and at least there's M-sport to soak up the best of the rest.
Yeah we are already lacking seats, 1 more team would be ideal with the current driver pool.
So to lose Citroen would be horrible. Even worse is that Msport are seemingly just wanting pay drivers now that they couldn't get Tanak.
Crazy, but expected

The most worrying thing is, although there will be new regulations coming in 2022, no car manufacturer has put interest in the WRC, yes it's still 2 years from now but hopefully by May of next year we will get an announcement. I'm calling out on May because that's around the time VW said they would come back, back in 2011, and Toyota also expressed their interest in the WRC at that same period of time back in 2015.
Although I am a fan of seeing as many of these cars as possible on a stage, maybe another way to look at it would be that we have eight top-quality drivers in 2020, as opposed to eight top quality ones and a few stragglers (not naming names).
I would rather see the top three in genuine top three cars (let's face it, the Citroen was a shit-box for most of the year) so, with Tanak and Neuville in the Hyundais versus Ogier in a Toyota, it would well make for a better championship that we've seen in 2019.
Rather worrying overall though for the WRC, in the way a team seems to be able to pledge commitment and within a couple of weeks (seemingly) just change direction and leave.
Maybe it's time for a full review of attracting new teams to the sport, as whatever the current formula is, it's not working.
It seems it is true after all. So many rumors about it today.
Horrible news if indeed true.
