I think like this: Monte is the most difficult rally to learn and you just have to practice it as much as possible. And Lappi is Toyota´s future. Very simple. Let´s wait and see.

Makinen should now build a R5 barn out at 'the farm'.
With the experience they now have, and maybe hire a R-Classes boss, to concentrate on the commercial rallycar market.
A lot of data from these cars can be used across the model range.
R5 is a commercially available thing you can buy, no moral or other restrictions there.
Emil Bergkvist to do WRC2 with J-Motorsport starting with Monte. Interesting that he also will be test driver for Citroen.

"Emil Bergkvist from Sweden along with co-driver Joakim Sjöberg will drive in the World Rally Championship in the class WRC2 during 2017, as official driver for the Belgian team J-Motorsport in a Citroën DS3 R5. Emil and Joakim will also act official test driver for Citroën Racing."
Hmmm, that didn't go too well for Emil last year. The test driver role is interesting though, presumably for the new R5.

Suninen as teammate of Camili in an M-Sport Fiesta R5 starting from Sweden
Hmm,Camili and Suninen. What a strong rival to Skoda motorsport WRC2 team. It seems to me the WRC2 will have a massive balls this year.
Will be interesting to compare Camilli and Suninen although i think it will be very hard for Camilli to beat Suninen. Actually i think it will be impossible but we dont know how this one year experience in WRC class has made in impact on Camilli.
