Jeez the amount of excuses Citroen come up with is never ending. Just admit you weren't good enough and can't compete, and go.
They pushed for these regs - got them - yet still quit. The FIA cant magically put on a rally in China, it tried a few years ago but didn't work. You get the feeling nothing would ever be enough for Citroen, there would always be another excuse, another reason why they had to leave or arent happy. Or another reason why they arent winning.
No wonder it took them 1/2yrs to realise their own drivers weren't talking shite when they gave feedback on the C3s limitations, and where it needed improvements...
You don't sign Ogier and then expect him to be happy with a year of development, or a full year of no development in terms of the aero package. Ogier doesn't need to hang around for promises (or false promises) of 'wait a little longer, development is coming". Too late, you had a whole year and went backwards on tarmac from the previous year...
Ogier just didn't have faith in the team having spent a year with them, and you can't blame him can you?
Fantastic weekend for the WRC, exactly what the sports need. An unexpected winner, that also shows some personality and emosions, perfect! Its also make one think, what could all the other talents...
