People will always talk about that, because Ogier is multi champ..but whether it's being discussed at M-Sport is a different matter. I certainly don't see them choosing to run a car on 3 cylinders instead of just telling a driver to check in to a TC late.

I don't run with the idea of JML cracking at VW because of team orders either. It was clear that he just wasn't comfortable in the team and that they didn't really like his style (he's all touchy feely, not empirical like Ogier is and like VW would want)...y'know, that and the fact that Ogier is obviously a quicker driver. Team orders would have been very low down on the list of reasons he couldn't cut it with the Germans.
