    VW with 4 WRC Titles... it could be hard for the team to explain to the hierarchy what more they have to prove.

    Plus if any cuts are needed where staff are to lose their jobs then motorsport will go for sure.

    Maybe they pull out as factory team and run with that developed 2017 car as "V-Sport" or something like that as Malcolm do?
    Or like Citroens in 2006 with Kronos

    They did it in the past - new WRC cars are mainly because of them. They needed to persuade VAG bosses why to invest again so much money, so they needed brand new WRC car. Thats why we have this 2017 versions...

    If the worst happens (or for those who think VW/Ogier are making it boring - the best) then where would the reigning 4 times Champ be likely to end up? Would any team even have a spare seat at this time?
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Doubt it, just it took him ages to actually leave VW.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.
