I think nobody can blame anyone for leaving for more money. Nor would I do it for Lappi.
It is just dumb to say he is leaving for better position. He is leaving to be a clear nr 2 to Ogier. How is that different position to Toyota. Would he be the third driver behind Latvala, have to let him past, give better parts for him? The answer is obviously not and he has not done that this season.
He is leaving for the SAME EXACT POSITION.

Well, whatever it is about my point was that it is not about better position in the team when he is moving from being a joint second driver in one team to being a clear second driver in the other.
If it is money, not getting along with team or whatever that is another story.

so Citroen main lineup next year (ogier - lappi) will have almost no experience with the car. Interesting to see how much it affects their performance, how quick they will be able to get the most out of the car, and how they compare to already established combos.
Tanak was fast straight away with the Toyota, let's see how Ogier and Lappi do.
I wouldn't be surprised if the aim for Citroen is for 2020 to get both championship, and use 2019 as "development".

When Lappi got offer from Citroen, did he know that Ogier is coming?
(or)
Was the offer for lead driver?
If offer was for 2nd/support driver, what did Citroen answer when Lappi asked "who is 1st driver"?"quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

Fascinating interview with Mr Wilson.
During Turkey, a new rear bumper on each Fiesta WRC at each service stop, £9,000 each. Yeh, no messing about, this is an expensive sport.
Only sold 2x new WRC cars and seen fewer drivers hiring the new machines. Business is tough it appears. A real shame.
My interpretation of his comments is though, that he will retire personally from the WRC team, not necessarily the whole M-Sport team leaving.

How would any of the proposed changes from this silly working group have changed ANY of that in 2025 or 2026?
