    If Tanak is off to Hyundai what's the bet that Neuville has let MSport know that he has an out clause in his contract.
    Things happen for reasons, not excuses.

    It's an investment. Tanak is hottest name out there right now and having him in the team is huge marketing plus. And they are developing new cars for WRC and R5 and still want to find the budget for two car team there so I think budget is not a question at all.

    Maybe Mikkelsen is ready for M-sport, he need to "restart" his career (or not, everyone know it's down to the car), a year in the fiesta for low salary or even for free, but personal sponsors to pay his salary, can be a good thing for him.

    A Hyundai dream-team could be pretty bad for the WRC.

    Citroen/Ogier are already struggling to compete with a lower budget and that inconsistent C3.

    Unless he goes to Toyota (and then just for a year as he's supposed to be retiring) then the titles are a foregone conclusion.

    If tanak goes to hyundai, i realy see ogier at Toyota. They need a lead driver and have the money for it.

    I also think it's bad.

    But I disagree on the second part. If Ogier goes to Toyota it will be even worse. I think he has a chance with Citroen after all the new changes finally get homologated for next year. However, if he leaves both Citroen and MSport will be just fighting their own fight for 4th place.

    it could be sound like Ott leaving to Hyundai or staying in Toyota.

    Ogier has a contract with Citroen for 2020 and recently again mentioned it's his last season.
