Latvala says that there is a gentleman's agreement that one team should not have all world champions and this is the reason why Ott won't join Toyota.

The gentlemen's agreement is a real paper legal agreement that can restrict any team to hire all champion drivers or just the moral agreement obey by all teams

... but when Loeb retired, then all champs (read: Ogier alone) was anyway in one team.

So that's the reason why Wilson didn't call Rovanpera or Ogier to join Tanak for 2024..

Neuville after Chile to Belgium press:

Autotranslated by Google: What if Tanak returned to Hyundai? "We have to strengthen the team. He will probably come back with the knowledge of another competing car, that can only help. I have always said it: it was the toughest team, the most difficult to beat . It was a reference for me, it gave me the opportunity to surpass myself from time to time. Even if collaboration as a team has not always been easy, with Cyril Abiteboul at the helm, he will play the game and that's fine be a good teammate ,” concludes the Hyundai driver.
