    I think Breen will be the 3rd driver alongside Seb and Lappi. He's been with the group for years and binning him off now, just as the team is rebuilding and has signed a multiple world champion, isn't maybe the best idea.

    He's still got potential and deserves a full season IMO. Unless Mads can bring a lot of budget I don't see Citroen choosing him over Breen, as with the extra red bull backing Citroen will be pretty sound financially anyway. They mean business again.

    But if Breen doesn't get a new contract with Citroen, I can still see him being an option for Msport. I'd actually take Breen over Evans, and they could have Pontus, Suninen and Breen. Quite an exciting line-up still.

    Paddon should be on the phone to Malcolm too, because if he accepts another half season at Hyundai things don't look great for his future. A full season with Msport would be a lot more beneficial for his career.

    Wonder who decided the timing of the Ogier news ? It's not very good for M-Sport just before their home rally...

    Why? It stops it becoming a sideshow while there's championships still to be won. Everyone pretty much knew Seb was going back to Citroen anyway, unless you were living in cloud-cuckoo-land.

    If Lappi goes Citroën maybe Breen will have to share car with Østberg, or ideally Breen drives 3rd car and Østberg pays for some rallies himself. I don't really care about Østberg he has had his fair share of chances and he can always drive (paying) a few rallies with Fiesta. At the same time Breen has had terrible season since his 2nd place in Sweden, so it's not looking good for him.

    What difference do you think it will make to M-Sport whether it's before or after their home rally?

    Just thinking with the fans having their no.1 driver performing here but now knowing he's definitely heading elsewhere. The support for Ogier may be a bit muted.
