Maybe if Lappi is not performing they might be tempted to swap again? They certainly haven't been afraid to do so.
But then again, without Abu Dhabi it might be more difficult.Last edited by BigWorm; 30th November 2018 at 21:27.

Found this:
"I'm very, very disappointed right now. We are shocked and surprised, as much as Citroën itself is. We had a good chat earlier this week where I received good signals that there was room for me in the team as long as there was a budget for it. Now there is no budget, and there has never been an option for me to pay for that place. There is talk of so much money, regardless of the fact that I'm just annoyed, because that money is not possible for me anyway", he says.

Sadly as much the new generation WRC cars brought hype and exictment into the sport it also made the expenses insanely high. It's bit of Double edged sword but we need more big sponsors into the sport to make this work.

Bastards. Now I can say that I really hope that they will burn in both titles next year. They are not the real team and don't care if nobody agrees with me. Better if they were not around at all.

They're so strange. Have been since they returned to the WRC.
They surely won't win a manufacturer's title with two cars, unless Loeb does a biggish program in a 3rd. And if Loeb does 6-8 events, then surely they scrape some money together to run Mads in the remaining events. Mads maybe can't bring a big budget anymore but im sure he could still bring some to help run a partial program.
And then there's the issue of Loeb doing events potentially causing angst with Ogier, considering his recent comments about guest drivers.
If they are only targeting the drivers title then that means Lappi is even more going to be Ogier's bitch, and forced to drop positions and potentially play the Evans role for him. Which makes it strange why he'd go there.
Real shame if they don't run 3cars.
Rallying is about following the route, if the route says go round a pole, you go round the pole. If you want to carve you're own path, go baja or something.
