    Not that simple. He also says (complete sentence in the newspaper version of L'Equipe): "However, some huge constraints will happen and could, in the end, lead to the impossibility to reach an agreement" (I Try to translate in the best way I am able to).
    I think he has yet talked with Citroen's top management and PSA will not accept to pay much more money to take Ogier (PSA has announced three weeks ago that they will cut 2000 jobs).

    What's stopping Toyota of Toyota going "Ok, we have the money and can get it outside of the WRC Teams budget to get Ogier or JML".

    You can't say this isn't a possibility!

    The thing is Ogier would never go for that, even if they bring the big bucks. I am sure he gets the same feeling as all fans about the Toyota project, which will 100% absolutely not be a winning formula so soon.

    Even though Mikkelsen has been better, Mäkinen would still rather have Latvala? Ok then
