This seems like a bit of a stretch? Latvala will get paid by VW next year regardless - so what is this buy-out paycheck are you referencing? And how is it negotiable?
If anything it might be Latvala that has to buy his way out of his own contract. Although I doubt VW will demand their drivers sit on the couch for a year.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Come on.VW is breaching the contract and you say that JML has to pay them to release him?Not a chance.For the last time,Jouhki is trying to get the most money possible out of Volkswagen to terminate the relationship between his client and them.He is using every trick available to achieve this.

Ofcourse it's VW who has to pay, they just need to find an agreement how big of cut they need to give to their drivers and let them free for next year.
Why would they pay for people who do not work for them anymore, so for them it's better to buy out their contracts for low as possible and as a manager you want to get as much out of the team as you can.

General consensus is the drivers will get their 2017 wages paid by VW as they were under contract. That's pretty standard practice and VW still have plenty of money despite everything. All three VW drivers could effectively command two wages next year depending where they end up. So I'm still not really sure what settlement needs to be negotiated. Certainly Latvala only had a deal up until the end of 2017 and options for further seasons which obviously won't now be picked up.

That's the thing, VW can just sit their drivers at home doing nothing while paying them big money. Or pay them less money so they would be free to do whatever. I know the money is not the issue for VW but why would they pay full salary to a driver who drives to a different car company?

The feedback from the commentators is similar as here. Ironically they have closed the comment section on the driver ratings article. ...
