Interesting. So that implies Latvala already has a contract with VW beyond the end of this season.

I've said it before - but he could line up against Ogier for 10 years in identical machinery and the result will be the same. 2nd place. He just has to hope Seb either gets bored and leaves the sport, or falls out with VW and leaves.

Also when Latvala is tactically not trying to win rallies - who exactly does he think will be winning them? Probably going to be Ogier the guy he's trying to beat.
