Most likely no-one. The whole NG thing was built around Katsuta and there's no need for that in 2023.

Yep, hard to come up with any other conclusion. Most likely Akio Toyoda has checked the current championship standings in his Tokyo office and realized how bad it looks for them.

Ofcourse not. Whatever paper they would sign, it's for sure included in there that under no circumstances can Latvala (or anyone else) finish right in front of any of the TGR guys.

Don't know. Ofcourse such thing would not have been done because there's someone more capable than JML waiting on the sidelines, but enough is enough. Bit like with Meeke and Citroen in 2018.

It doesn't matter what has happened since. Who knows, maybe Ogier would have taken it anyway. But the thing is, that in 2017, if ever, JML was in title-winning form. Shame that TGR wasn't.
