M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

I don’t believe for a minute that Ogier will leave. If, like it’s said above, he has others priorities in life which may influence him to end his career, why didn’t he took VW pull out to do it? It’d be the perfect occasion.

There’s also Citroen WRC future to consider. Ogier is their only hope to fix the big mess they’re in; without him, it’s easy to predict another struggling season, eventually leading to a disgraceful pull out at the end of the year. Mr. Tavares is certainly aware of it; it’d be a shocking surprise to see him let Citroen Racing to fail that way.

I don't think that he will leave either. Ogier is earning millions of euro per year doing what he loves. He will not stop it because he risks not to win the championship again.

They are usually not talking about his salary, it's the commitment to spend big on continued development. At least that is what every interview mentions...

This can be the problem with any Citroen deal. They do seem to be tight with their finances at the moment. Plus there's the sponsor clash.

Can Ogier continue with M-Sport ? It looks unlikely without Ford or other big sponsor.

So his retirement is a real possibility IMO.

Any team boss who doesn't try everything to sign ogier should be fired.

Yes, he's not the most humble likable person. But he still is, by some margin, the best rally driver in the world.
Having him in the team gives you a big starting advantage to win the title, having him in some other team gives you an immediate disadvantage.
So anyone who's goal is to win the championship, should give first priority to signing ogier. Doing anything else severely reduces the chances of winning the title.

Finally. Some people are more focused on harmony in the team than in trophies for the team.

im also very surprised by the fact that the other teams besides M-sport arent really interested or doing enough to get Ogier. Like mentioned here, the benefits with having him are huge.

Others are a lot more cheaper...

You get what you pay for. Sign Ogier and you'll most likely win championships...

Hyundai offer him (too) little money, Toyota din't offer him anything (he called them and get rejected), Citroen offer him some money (some says that a little low), M-Sport boss now says that he can't afford him because that means he will risk his company.

I think that he doesn't have another option now that except or get out.. Soon Malcolm will close the doors, he get him, prove everything and that's it.

He is still dependent of teams and that's why I think nobody will sign him in the future if he will making his own terms.

We will see in the future in like 10 or 20 years if he will run some manufacturer team that he will be in their position...
