    Yes it does but like Eddie said before you, they're not competing. It's not a useful comparison to worry on.

    Ogier doesnt seem too keen to continue, although he hasn't tested the new car yet...

    “The cars are taking a step backwards. The most important thing is to have a strong field and close battles with as many drivers as possible in the top category. Technically, the cars are less inspiring than the current ones. Few drivers will have anything positive to say about them,” Ogier said.

    Like he ever wanted to have a strong field. His most titles came when he haven't got so much direct competition. Kalle and Tanak break that, then he starts compete only "half" programmes. Then Neuville step up, Evans became very strong, Solberg this year and is a matter of time when Pajari and Fourmaux will be strong candidates for titles too. I don't know when WRC had such a strong field the last time. Yes, of xourse Kalle and Tanak left, but still have a feeling they will came back.

    Thierry Neuville highly sceptical about the future of the WRC...

    “As a driver, you always want more. We want cars that make both drivers and fans dream. On that front, I’m not convinced the future technical regulations are compelling."

    “I don’t think we will see new manufacturers – perhaps a few private teams entering with a car developed in their own garage. Is this the future of the WRC? I’m not sure."

    Me thinks there's better chance to see Tanak building a RedGrey WRC27 then even driving a RedGrey WRC27 over driving for anybody else.

    Maybe odd events but can't see Rovanpera doing full seasons again.

    Possibility that nobody does full seasons.

    He didn't have much competition because he is the GOAT. Tanak and Kalle were lucky he went to drive the shitroen, and retired for some time.

    Ogier is lucky that Tänak made the worst decision of all time in WRC when he left Toyota and joined Hyundai. This gave him opportunity at first place to join Toyota and collect more titles.
