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

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).
