There was genuine bemusement at the megastar Frenchman's salary being met almost entirely by Malcolm Wilson. A cost that came on top of the multi-million pound investment in a 2017 World Rally Car.[/B]

Eddie... do you genuinely think this means Malcolm himself paid (what was it? - 6M euros a year) for Ogier, or the M-sport as a company paid?

Yes, I know he owns the company, but there is a marked difference.

P.S... I don't expect you to answer as when you are usually met with a reasoned argument, you seem to go silent for a while, but I would be happy if you do.
