"There is a guarantee of employment for the Volkswagen Motorsport employees."
At least there's this. But a great shame overall.2024 Season: F1:Fernando/Max! WRC: Kalle/Thierry! ERC:Hayden! CPR:Armindo!

So there is scope for VW to retain at least one driver if they wanted to be primary tester on the R5 car. Same as Abbring has done for Hyundai.
Only thing is that will not satisfy either of the current 3 drivers.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

I can't even imagine what is going through the heads of the three VW drivers right now. Especially Ogier

I guess now the fun starts with the drivers market. Im sure the legalities of their existing contracts will be cleared up pretty swiftly and they will be free to drive for a new team. Lots of talk of Ogier to M-sport, which would be a fantastic move, maybe more so for M-sport but the new Fiesta does look impressive speed wise. Jari Matti almost looks like a certain shoe in for Toyota given the ties which just leave Mikkelsen. Very interesting times ahead.

And it sounds like he has something up his sleeve already. He doesn't hang about does he.

It's a big difference to run WRC program and to sell R5 cars which can be rather easily developed on the basis of existing Fabia R5. The later can be a profitable activity.
