    The Italians are claiming the news first:

    "The contract Ogier has signed with Toyota is for only one season, since the Frenchman maintains his decision to retire after the 2020 World Cup. Evans and Rovanpera have signed for two years.

    After this operation and the withdrawal of Citroën there are many pilots who have been unemployed. Esapekka Lappi is the one harmed by the end of the French team, and Jari-Matti Latvala and Kris Meeke discards Toyota. All of them have set sail for Ford M-Sport, their only salvation for next year."

    The first to come out is Thierry Neuville who admits that the new combination, at least on paper, hides (but not too much) great potential:
    "Sébastien Ogier at Toyota is a big problem! The Yaris has repeatedly proved to be the car to beat with as many as three cars unattainable from the first day of the race. I'm not afraid of Ott Tänak's arrival in our stable, he will be able to bring information about the Japanese car and added value. But with Ogier starting with the Yaris everything becomes more complicated."

    He wasn´t WRC-car driver but he for sure was WRC driver

    and he did win 5/8 of his counted events...

    but yes, he had some bad events also.
