    I really hope no sabbatical, that would be a very boring decision... What's the problem in signing 1 year contract with M-Sport? I'm sure Malcolm will literally pay him as much as he can. I also don't really get this stability talk...

    According to https://www.rallye-magazin.de/wm/art...ueberraschung/ after testing the Yaris and the Fiesta WRC 2017 Ogier claims that both cars are not competitive enough.

    A 2017 Polo WRC Qatar Team with Al Attiyah seems to be a possibility.

    If it was a one year contract with M-Sport (doubt Tommi would propose him that), it would be a nice challenge for Ogier. Did Malcolm ever say anything about a possible contract lenght? I don't remember if the 1 year possibility was mentioned by him or someone on the forum...

    I think in one of the articles mentioning the possible homologation it was stated that at least 5 sets have to be built.
    But if such a case really is a possibility, for sure the spare parts supply will be no problem.

    Every "news" site reporting something different. It's all just noise until the press releases land.
