Wow! The silliest silly season I can remember! Maybe matched by VW leaving. Can't blame Ogier. Citroen did a mess of it. It will be sad to have fewer cars and one less manufacturer, but it was good while it lasted.

Could be with one less manufacturer, the R5 field could be nice in 20!

I personally don't care much about that shitty team. Sorry but it's true-from 2017 onwards I mean. Shame just that two or three seats are now permanently no more.
Some of memorable moments:
2017:
-building a crappy car
-unpredictably undriveable car
-lack of testing
-no budget (despite Abu Dhabi support)
2018:
-again unpredictably undriveable car
-no listening to driver feedbacks
-sacking Meeke
-no budget despite PSA didn't run any other official programme
2019:
-running only two cars
-maybe a little better now with car since Ogier drive it, but still dissappointment
-no budget despite the most rich sponsor in the whole rallying scene
-not chosing Ostberg despite his contribution to the team for a few years.
-not giving the same support to the Lappi
-leaving the field blaming all others than themselves.
With so many years of experience and so many titles they can all go in the corner and cry a little.
At the end I can say just thank you for your little show over the years. Without them it wouldn't be funny moments.

Hopefully M-Sport would take the drivers and manufactures championship in 2020, it somehow would feel right.

Someone should call to John Elkann, at least he is motorsports fan. Maybe he could negotiate with Koreans restoring Loeb to Citroen to have a first class driver and start to chase the tenth title

There are rumours just for Subaru running alongside M-Sport. If that happens it doesn't changes anything except brand
A nice analysis from the rally: https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/what-we-learned-from-rally-italy-sardinia-2024/
