Not entirely sure, but I’m pretty sure it was one of two reasons, or a combination of both:
Their budget was dealt a massive blow when their main sponsor pulled out and they can’t justify his wages as a guest driver.
Or.
Ogier got a little irritated with the thought of Loeb in the team and, especially given Loeb’s performance in Spain, pulled rank.

Not sure how much you or I know about Citroen’s current budget, but I’m guessing Ogier takes up a fair old chunk of it and without a main sponsor, there’s not much left.

That sound reasonable?
