before some months i had wrote about a feeling i had, that Linda had put pressure to wrc team about wins etc.
this ''feeling'' was from her tweets before rallies,but not only.
there somebody else mentioning same thing.
'''CEO Linda Jackson was a regular visitor to the Service Park and there had been numerous reports of her and management’s demands of the team. On the outside, the pressure and direct action from management into the sport is much bigger than we saw in the past and what we see in other manufacturer teams.''''
worth a read mates

After next season Ogier and Loeb will be gone, maybe Sordo as well. So there are definitely places to fight for. Will be interesting to see what kind of programs Mikkelsen, Lappi, Breen, Paddon and Östberg (I count JML and Meeke being out) are able to arrange for themselves in 2020. Seems like the silly season will be far from over even when the line-ups have been confirmed.

I’m wondering if the promoter should be speaking to the teams and negotiating subsidising a third / fourth car to get the numbers up.
We may have a cracking fight for the WDC in store, especially with Ogier in that weapon, but the total field being 8 WRC cars, then the series is in a complete shit state. Genuinely worried about the future and let’s face it, the new regs for 2022 don’t sound like they are designed to save money.Last edited by T16; 14th November 2019 at 20:44.

One imagines Lappi is now regretting leaving Toyota at the end of 2018.

Citroen Racing has posted on their FB page couple of hours ago - but nothing related to the leaving, just some Sebs interview. So IMHO this confirms that they are leaving. Otherwise, considering how high attention this speculation has received today, it would have costed them nothing to reply and deny it in FB. Lets see...

Budar just denied it in some French interview. Not that it has to mean anything.
I think we saw this one coming, didn't we?
