    Even in the dominant polo he was never a real contender for the title.

    I always wondered why people have given latvala so much credit and continue to do that. There has not been one year in his carreer where he has actually delivered what he is paid to do. He has, except in a few rally's, never been anywhere near consistent, either being slow or crashing.

    He was called crashvalla when he was still driving the ford, and nothing has changed now 10 years later.
    While this is true, he has also got 18 wins which shows he has had real, top level speed that few others have.

    But booy does he like to crash as well.

    Re the future of Citroen and Ogier... yes it could be the end for Citroen if he leaves. Or Citroen could just pull out anyway seeing tough competition from the two Asian teams.

    But... remember Abu Dhabi - they said they would return in 2020.

    Their sponsorship could pay for a 3rd or even 4th car. Then Citroen could find another driver bringing budget and they could end up with a really viable team to fight for the titles.

    I don´t remember that "Abu Dhabi" mentioned "Citroen" when they said "would return 2020"...

    They could sponsor some other ...

    MSport is really the only realistic option.
    Qatar sponsorship back with M-Sport? Yes please.

    Just read a story saying Ogier's contract with Citroen prevents him driving for another team if he leaves before it ends. So he would have to sit out 2020 if he leaves now.

    Toyota move is not gonna happen.

    Right, only if Citroen would call it quits.

    Who knows, new leadership, new collaborations...VW in 2016 is a great example.
