Silly Season 2020

[wrc2017]

few things to consider

Ogier, will he flout his contract, ie by taking a test drive in Toyota, in the hope he get fired?
does that leave him a free agent.

what if he does that, and then doesn't like the Toyota?

is Ogier as fast as Tanak? my answer is no.
therefore if Ogier was in Toyota this year, he would not have won the championship either?

what if the Toyota isn't as strong as he thinks? it was Tanak making it look good.

Toyota are not going to pay Citroen a break fee, Ogier will have to pay that, which could be a years Citroen wages, which means he drives the toyota for net zero money (excluding bonuses)

Citreon will never release Ogier, if that want to stay in WRC in 2020. They are now maybe convinced they have a good car, with the upgraded aero, or at least better than it was.

The rules are stabilized for a few years now... you will see the performance of the cars converging

Meeke 2nd year in Yaris could be a threat to Ogier, at least on speed, maybe not consistency. He was match for Tanak on a few rallies. Latvala wouldn't be a threat to Ogier, he has been there 3 years now, there is no room for improvement for JML. What if Roverpera shows them all up on a couple of events?

Citroen maybe will pull out after 2020. If that is the case, they will not be distracted by developing a new 2021 car, unlike the others.

My view is Ogier is bettering staying where he is. If he goes to Toyota and it doesnt work out.. its Ogiers looks bad. If he stays in the C3, he can still be the one that 'turned it around', if is doesnt work in 2020 in C3, "its a dog" as we all know.
