First indicator was Ogier's complaining over guest drivers and their starting positions. He never complain over them until Loeb came and win a rally. That really is a sign that he is nice just for the media, but inside he sees him as a challenge to beat (a nine time challenge I would say). So no they are not getting fine along.

One Seb is enough, especially in Citroen case. Knowing Loeb and Ogier past history in the team and their ultra competitive nature, there's nothing strange about avoiding harmful ego fights. Besides, with Loeb getting a seat at Hyundai, maybe Budar will now be able to find some extra budget and call Ostberg for Sweden and hopefully other events. Fingers crossed.

They lost budget when Abu Dhabi left, but having already signed Ogier they really should've realised that they had to fund the team properly to give him the best chance. Loeb could've done the same job as he will do for Hyundai.
Citroen/ PSA make some strange decisions. They pull out Peugeot RX but dont fully support Citroen-Sport.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 12th December 2018 at 23:58.

Strange decisions indeed. They bought Opel. And people at the headquarters of PSA needs to afford new yachts, so there isn't money for motorsport.

Aren`t they also paying huge fines because of Opel`s engines not complying with current pollution standards?

Dont forget running the two Sebs on the same team must be very heavy on the salaries paysheet, infact I dont remeber any team running two high profile drivers at the same time with professionals so far already on their careers. Ogier must be on 7 millions plus a year and even with Abu Dhabi I am not sure Citroen could afford much for Loeb.
