First of all. Again before they even start they want to doom their championship chances with only two cars...
And why if M-Sport really retire? (I know Suninen is confirmed but all three drivers at VW were confirmed too but where this went then we all know).
And then again 3rd car reserved for Qassimi, Loeb and maybe Ostberg (if he pays, but he will probably not want that).
Shame for Breen, I really hope he gets a seat somewhere else and Paddon too now with Hyundai playing this little games...

Meh I finally got to watch it cause I was late.. and he said:
"The priority is to get 2 cars as good as possible, able to win" even if that means running only 2.
So that means Ogier + Lappi yes, as he was the best available driver. 3rd car basically if someone brings some money/drives for free.

I'm suprised Ogier would be happy with only one 'wing-man' to take points off rivals.
Plus he is big money to invest by Citroen not to also fight for the Manu's title !

There are strong rumors for Loeb already agreeing to do events next year. Not sure of how many. Maybe Ostberg doing a few others. Ostberg the only sub-privateer with enough speed to score points honestly.
Could be a Hyundai type situation which aint too bad.Last edited by racerx1979; 4th October 2018 at 18:56.

If sordo was convinced by Hyundai that means that he don't get any other offer. Either he will accept it or he is out of the WRC squad..

Well taken all together (Sordo "confirmed" at Hyundai) and Breen beeing so unhappy with the Ogier news it does look more and more likely that Meeke goes to Toyota. Only other reasonable option left is Paddon imo.

Yesterday we could read a rumour , that Breen has an offer from Toyota and M-Sport. TGR=TMG and a local journalist (from a reliable source, generally)...
So really can`t see the connection in that also.Last edited by Tarmop; 4th October 2018 at 19:15.

Would he then be saying out loud, that HE WILL be in a factory team?
