I never heard there was a buy-out clause. Budar mentioned they would settle it in court.

I estimate that he leaves after 2020. I can put my few cents on that

Some of you really believe that one (1) man (Ogier) forced big manufacturer leave WRC ?

Simply: NO

It was mentioned in this article: https://www.hs.fi/urheilu/art-2000006316294.html

Someone had to buy out Ogier's contract for next season, and that someone was Toyota.

I guess we'll find out later whether this statement was correct or not.

Did you listen to the Autosport interview with David Clark and Budar? A good listen if you hav not.

Is it matter. As long as he compete. If we look closely if someone of that 2nd tier drivers don't step up their game we will only have two title fighters and manufacturers won't come. If there were at least 4 or more I'm sure they could pay more attention to this sport so they could fight for titles, not just ocassional wins and podiums.

While the publication and the journalist are reliable as such, it's true that the silly mistakes (WRC2, Bertelli and what else was there) lay a shadow of a doubt for the other content as well.
