Could it be that all teams are kind of waiting for Ogier's move, not sealing contracts with anyone to spare seat in case Ogier's suddenly looking for a new drive for 2018? And Ogier's waiting for Ford's announcement...
I think it's pretty certain that is what is happening. But Ogier doesn't want too long so he probably has some deadline like end of August or something. And I'm sure he's talking to all teams.
Fragile? Ogier had 0 DNFs in 2019 due to technical trouble. Only technical problems were 2 times broken powersteering, in a whole season (which of course was enough to make Ogier and his wife rage)....
If it is just a new investor (not a new Promoter) that means they wont be changing anything except financial matters. And yes, the FIA has to decide and approve the Regs.
You're way off topic lads.
