[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

It is not about bluff, it is about professionalism.

You are a manufacturer rally team representing a multibillion company, no matter how good a driver is you cannot diseregard protocol. The drivers must want to drive for you not the opposite.

M-sport is a private business and Wilson will only sign Ogier if the whole deal is profitable for him.

Toyota is run by a bunch of amateurs and their only concern is probably to just drain the company of its sources and then flop.

Citroen is doing the right thing.

Yep, i agree, Hyundai also didn't get Neuville a taste of the new generation car until he signed a new contract. As for M-Sport and Toyota i think it's normal for them to have a driver like Ogier to test the car, for sure the feedback, how small it maybe will be after a (short) test, both teams will be pleased about it.
Hyundai has a strong driver line-up and i don't think there would anything changed, perfect for them would be Latvala in a fourth car in rally's like Sweden, Poland and Finland (and to be nominated and not Sordo).
If Citroën is smart they get Mikkelsen and switch between Breen and Lefebvre for the third car.
