[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

If the news are true... I really doubt Citroën or M-Sport can pay for Ogier. He's going to be hugely expensive and he's not going anywhere out of sentiment. It's Hyundai or Toyota who can pay.

Are some drivers about to get bought out of their contracts here? I had visions of Tanak running to M-Sport with a pen last night!

If you are Citroen, Hyundai etc it might be worth paying extra to get Ogier locked up for the next few years.

Ogier and a whole lot of other people will still be getting paid by VW next year no?

But with VW likely to be paying his salary for next year, maybe he'll go where he thinks he has the best weapon of choice.

He'll test them all, no doubt and then decide.

This is massive news, unbelievable.

Jouhki will probably sign up Latvala with Tommi ASAP.Mikkelsen can go anywhere.Ogier is the most difficult one.If Ford doesn't make an official comeback and name him no1 driver,most chances he will sit the season out.Hyundai won't pay him and Citroen (unless patriotism takes over) won't give him undisputed No1 status over Meeke.

Hyundai won't pay him

Why?

and Citroen (unless patriotism takes over) won't give him undisputed No1 status over Meeke.

Why?

Sorry but there is no logic in both statements.
