It’s amazing how people talk about salaries or budgets, probably without knowing the real numbers; anyway, Loeb/Citroen divorce seem far from being money related.

Budar strategy has been quite clear since a long time: he wanted a top driver able to push the team to its best level on a permanent basis, not only in a few occasions. Loeb was never interested in doing a full season, so the only other top driver available to revamp Citroen was Ogier. To get Ogier, Budar (like Wilson during the last 2 years) had only one way: to fulfil all his demands. I very much doubt that keeping Loeb on the team was one of Ogier demands.Rally addict since 1982

So once upon a time Loeb kicked out Ogier from citroen. now it's the opposite

I don't think that's the exact word, it comes from Hindi I think and in Hinduism they believe in afterlife and rebirth. Close enough if we think in the aspect of a life in a team.

Has the shitroen ever been first car on the road? I mean when its important I dont think it has. I may be wrong but was just a thought that came to mind unless they they really get the car sorted it could be a problem for ogier if hes 1st/2nd on the road come the gravel rounds.

He probably wasn't comparing the two directly. More likely he meant that Hyundai can afford to pay a fortune or even that he will bring enough exposure to attract another sponsor (more likely the first though).
I would reckon Loeb has the salary side of things nailed... he'll have his price and to be fair, people will pay it (if it's within their budget).

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
