    Why would Ogier joining Citroen be frustrating? Unless of course, that means the budget doesn't stretch for a third car and corroborating the rumour that's Breen is looking elsewhere.

    Wasn’t he the guy that guaranteed Ogier would retire last year?

    Btw: how much can a manager/investor like Jouhki or Veiby (in the case he also advanced cash on an early stage) dictate their drivers future signing choices? Somehow it’s hard to think Lappi would voluntarily leave Toyota just for a bigger check.

    PS: fingers crossed for MSport; they’re an iconic WRC team.

    Last year Tänak voluntarily left the team that won both championships to Toyota which basically only had top speed in Finland. For money and better position in the team. If Lappi leaves it's not much different, dispite what Tänak fanboys say.

    Many of us have thought that the conditions and salary in Toyota are very good. But did Tänak also mention that Toyota's and M-Sport's salary was not that different. I wonder if the factory backing does not reflect in drivers' salary and was Latvala maybe overpaid

    I can`t remember him saying that, i remember him saying that he didn`t make that choice only because of money, but because of the role in the team and which parts whose car got.
