    From the same Belgian source as above...

    Will Seb Ogier sign with Citroën ?

    Neuville: "I do not believe that. If he goes, it will be only for the money because he has everything he wants at Ford. If they offer him the same salary, he will stay where he is."

    Toyota:
    -very fast (maybe fastest atm) 1st driver
    -probably fastest 2nd driver, JML

    What they need is reliable 3rd driver if something goes wrong with 1 or 2 driver

    Meeke doesn´t fit in that role, that´s why they should choose someone else if Lappi leaves.

    Meeke would be exciting to watch though, and so much about Toyota and TMR is about the passion for the sport. Certainly, they will get a lot of exposure too.

    Or an investment in the future in form of a young driver.

    Let's not forget, Toyota do have manufacturing plants in the UK, whether that might have any bearing on choosing Meeke over another driver, I don't know.

    And what if the best option is to let others invest in young drivers and "steal" them when they're ready?
