Where will Ogier go after VW's exit?
With Volkswagen parking its WRC project, the best rally driver in the world is on the market. But where will he go?
Nobody will ever find out. How can they? It'll be fine. Pass me the computer. What's the limit for the test? How much do we want this Polo to chuck out?
Sebastien Ogier would, no doubt very much like a chat with those Volkswagen colleagues who had a conversation roughly along those lines a few years ago. Not only has that dialogue and the subsequent fiddling left Volkswagen with 15 billion reasons to wish it had never heard of dieselgate, it's also left the four-time World Rally champion without a car and without a job for next season.
