I also believe "chasing Tänak" was only Wilson's game in trying to jack up Tänak's price, so he would get a bigger share.
When we compare the situation of Wilson getting Ogier in 2017 and Tänak for 2020
- VW probably paid something to Ogier, Tänak didn't have an exited manufacturer paying him anymore
- Red Bull probably secured a big part of the budget, what could Tänak bring?
- M-Sport hadn't won the titles before as a private team, now they have already done that as a stunt
- And again, if Wilson had been paying Tänak, he wouldn't get the aforementioned extra share

Believe what you like.
I think Malcolm got the taste of winning again and didnt want to go back to being an also-ran.

Yeah that livery alone makes up for Hyundai & Toyota's lack of imagination.
