In a way it's bad news cause it says Citroen is not sure if they are committed in 2021. (or more like Ogier is not sure if Citroen will be committed)
But before Finland most people were expecting Citroen to leave after 2018, so 2 years with real commitment (= Ogier) is quite a step up already.

With Ogiers move, M-Sport cost base would be significantly reduced for 2019 and i would bet that Malcolm is using this to develope best car for 2020 season and put some money aside with the aim to lure Ott back when his contract ends with Toyota. 2019 season for them would be development and just getting by with cheap or paying guys who might get occasional podium.

@Indreq New Fiesta R5 and possible Fiesta R3 should be profitable too.

Not to mention new R2 based on the new body style. The R2 is becoming the go-to set up for many regional rally drivers. I'm in the market for an R2T, but waiting to hear about the new R2 which will be announced soon. MSport knows what they are doing...

Profits from this is the reason why they are able to participate as private team in highest level at all. But that doesnt mean that they are flush with money. But i quess now that Ogiers move is public, rest will announce their movements soon and we can see if my gut feeling is correct or not.

Yes, I suppose it could be that simple. Evans is a bit the reverse, he didn’t seem to gel with the hybrid car, but looks back to his pre-hybrid level now its gone. Only Kalle knows if he is motivated...
