If this year the manufacturers was just as important or even more important, they would be running 3 cars and the team principal wouldn't have said they are focusing on the drivers title for Ogier. It's really quite simple!!!!!!! Jeeeez...

And that doesn't mean the manufacturers won't become an important target if it's winnable with an additional car, but it's clearly not the priority now or at the start of the season.

Don't even know why it's such a debate, when it's Eddie just not engaging his brain again...
