    Not that simple I think - car can be good but does it suit you? Evans and Toyota this year is good (or bad) example.

    But I really hope that M-Sport / Millener get some better reasons to give interviews on on-live than giving explanations after another crash.

    Why would Tanak leave Hyundai for Msport? That would almost be a worse decision than leaving Toyota for Hyundai.

    Hyundai have ramped up development, have won 5 rallies this year and Msports reliability is really bad (worse than Hyundai's?)

    (I assume if he has a Toyota option too then neither team would let him test.)
    Maybe Malcolm would offer first.
    I've read somwere that back in 2016. Malcolm first gave Ogier Fiesta for test drive and then they talked.

    Pattern - Tänak goes and makes car good and then leaves. Did good car for M-Sport, then made "made FOR Finland" Toyota to be good everywhere, now Hyundai got much much better... and now, back to M-Sport.

    after all we heard about the Belgian Mr. Hyundai, i think Tänak would have left Hyundai even for a Seat in WRC3.....nobody except Sordo can stay there longer than 3 years.

    Which driving style prefers Tanak? A bit of underster approaching the bends and then very neutral to the apex and in exiting?

    Why? There can be many reasons, I think mainly as he lacked any faith in the team and did not enjoy it there.

    He is going to Msport and that is a fact. Lets hope it will be a good decision.

    And yet, that's what I think is happening exactly.

    You're right in everything you say there, the only person who can answer the first question is Ott himself so you'll have to ask him to find out why .......

    Since there is some speculation on Tanak and Solberg in Pumas connected though maybe not full "in" MSport.

    That combination of 3 stubborn bosses has huge potential either way
    - massive success
    Or
    -massive drama
