Ogier priced himself out of Citroen ,
Hydaundi and Toyota. He undoubtly wants no1 status, which could conflict the teams current driver line up. Redbull doesnt fit with Citroen. If he is talking about retirement already he not going to be about for long term contract. if toyota or hydundai hire him, and he wins the championship... ogier won the title.. not the manufacturer.. so could be considered a negitive for manufacturer. He won the chamionship on consistency, not outright speed. You can only do that for so long, before the others get their act together. He is not the quickest guy in the championship anymore.. but top 3. he has a wife and child, and has already indicated wife wants him to stop. he has about €20m in the bank. so all in all, this is why he is left with ford or retirement.
amen.
