But, if drivers like Latvala/Mikkelsen/Meeke has to pay to get a drive, WRC of today is fu..ed.
Drive for free, or with low salary with bonus after good results is one thing, pay to drive is for gentlemen drivers, and noone of those 3 can by any means be named that.

Two of them are quite old already, all have been there for a while. There are more men, younger and maybe faster, who also need a drive. Places are counted. Wrose is, if those young men can`t get behind the wheel or need to pay for it.

Evans is supposedly getting decent salary even after a disastrous last year with two podiums and then just 5th or worse places.

Surely even MSport will pay at least one driver. But if they pay Tanak they would get cheap/paying drivers to complement him.

There's too many driver's and not enough WRC seats. Only the very best can expect a good salary from a team, especially a non-Full Manufacturer team like M-Sport.

They will only pay big for a title contender, like MW did with Ogier

The likes of Latvala has made a good living for years. He could afford to drive for an average wage if he still wants a seat. Ditto Sordo and even Meeke.

Sad news. Hearing his 911 coming from the forest and seing it arriving on a big slide is one of the moments that made me addicted to rally. One of the best of his generation, even if still not properly recognized outside France. Thanks Mr. Thérier. RIP.

Ogier confirms he will retire at the end of 2020...

"My career will stop at the end of 2020 at Citroën ," he says. After, I'll want to move on. To be more at home, to be the best father possible, to be more present with my son. And projects of reconversion, there can be plenty. Resume studies of economics, ecology also touches me even if I play sports car for years. I am sensitive to the fate of the planet. Golf also, I started a short time ago, and it's addictive ... And also certainly still a little sport self, but less restrictive than today. "
