Managed to go back and watch the interview with Budar on AllLive. Good to see Porter pressing him on next year's plans. No harm in a few difficult questions to team managers every now and then.

I hope Citroen don't back themselves into a corner again though. They've said they want a driver who can win any rally on any surface and challenge for the championship, so at the moment that is only Neuville, Ogier & Tanak. But Ott is under contract so not available. Only other option could be Lappi but that's putting faith in potential more than what he can definitely deliver now and next season. I still don't see Ogier, Neuville (or even Lappi) going there. They basically need to offer the biggest contract in wrc history to attract Seb or Thierry, and even then it probably won't be enough - unless Seb feels he has unfinished business at Citroen or wants to go back to a manufacturer (and French) team.
