Lappi has apparently been given the future of Citroen. Bide his time, develop and he'll be the man who keeps Citroen in the series post Ogier.
He's quite disheartened by how dominant Tanak has been in the same car, with a year's less experience in the Yaris. Im sure there's a few other reasons on top of that he's not totally happy at Toyota, but it is what it is. A big pay rise is maybe enough at his age to leave one team for another and who can blame him? Money talks

I don't believe that Ogier will retire after these two next seasons. If he will be in fight for more titles he will surely not leave at at the peak of his career.

Did Wilson say that M-Sport are considering retiring from WRC on the rally forum tonight?
Rumours are floating around that they are, i missed most of it. Just heard him saying at the end how he could possibly leave this sport after the drama in Turkey..."Die with memories, not with dreams" Scott McIsaac

Here's the source https://www.rallye-magazin.de/wrc/ar...g-von-m-sport/
I don't think he will retire though... He will find a way

Actually he's not that young (3 years older than Suninen, 1,5 years younger than Mikkelsen).
And he already said last year that he feels he went to WRC too late. Probably low on patience to wait at Toyota.
Which brings up a related issue. In 2017 he was supposed to start from Monte, but Latvala came due to VW exit and he had to wait out 5 rallies. Another reason not to be happy there.

Worrying rumour about M-Sport's WRC future, or lack of it. But if I had to put my money on, it would be on them staying.
BTW, the other info from tonight's Forum was Breen stating he was still in talks but confident of a WRC programme next year. He's not sure where though, so he must have more than one option.
"Pavlos Athanassoulas, the event director of the Acropolis Rally Greece, told Cosmote TV in an interview that all three manufacturers agreed that the current classification period should be respected...
