Citroen aren't being losers by not begging Ogier like Wilson. Toyota and Msport have nothing to lose letting Seb test the car whereas Citroen and Hyundai do.

What I think will happen is after Seb tests the Ford, he'll give Citroen more or less a verbal agreement that they are his preference and he wants to join them. Then maybe we'll see him test before he officially signs the contract. Citroen know the car is good and know Meeke can challenge next year, so they won't let Ogier drive the car only for him to then join Msport or Toyota. Neither will Hyundai, and Nandan has already said as much. Citroen and Hyundai are acting like proper manufacturer teams who are confident in their car/drivers , whereas Msport and Toyota are desperate and willing to do anything to sign Seb (understandably).
