Speculating is getting bit out of hand, no rallies and no announcements and we get a bit carried a way with the analysis, it's fun but can't really base much on it. For example Ott's answer can mean anything, also with non-native english speakers it's hard to look for hidden meanings because sometimes they don't use the correct tense or make some small error but they don't mean anything by it.

The results of Malcom meeting with Ford should clear things up. Basically at this point if they don't get proper backing Ogier will just go to Citroen because he doesn't want to wait as last year. Ott can probably wait a bit more, it must be hard for him to choose, on one hand it could be worth doing another year in a familiar car, potentially as lead driver, on the other hand the Toyota offer must be tempting.
