Maybe they don't have nothing to prove anymore since they have most titles and practically best WRC statistists so far. Of course the world needs them to be in the game, but Linda talks for herself. If them will really go away I hope Peugeot will convice her to step up. They are not done in this kind of sport and since they are aiming in EV technology that could be another step closer to their goals.
It may be a shock for you, as a Citroen hater, but nowadays the difference between having Citroen or Peugeot in the WRC is mainly changing a badge as both brands sport divisons are totally connected and depend on PSA board decisions. No extended budget would miraculously arrive and most of the staff would certainly continue if Peugeot took Citroen place.
