Looks like Ogier is heading for the title, why would he want to leave MSport unless he is motivated by money?
I can see Hyundai wanting to strengthen their team as they'll be annoyed at losing the manufacturers title. Maybe they'll go for Mikelssen as a fast and reliable pair of hands? Possibly at the expense of Sordo?

In a Finnish TV interview yesterday with Juho Hänninen
- How important is it to get a good result from here [Deutschland] regarding the future of your career?
- Hard to say, you need to ask someone else. Good results are always important. For me it was important to see I've got the pace, gives me confidence for the future
Kind of sounds like no matter how well he drives, there's no drives coming up next year.

Imo the only option is to continue at Toyota with probably 1 year extension, can't see anyone else signing him, others will either go for proven value (Tanak, Mikkelsen) or for cheap/promising youth. Hanninen is "unproven"/uncertain performance and older (6 years older than Tanak, 8 over Mikkelsen, 10 over Lappi). So it's up to Tommi and/or Japanese.
------------------------------
During the Powerstage broadcast Julian Porter said the rumors in service park about Mikkelsen were that he was talking to Hyundai and Citroen about next year and that he also wanted to drive the last 3 rallies this year in the same car (from context that probably meant C3).Last edited by mknight; 20th August 2017 at 19:04.

Hanninen can be Toyota's Sordo if he was a good finisher. I heard Tommi is fairly attached to Juho, but I'm sure final word will come from high up. Is anyone running a four car team next year?
These really are great videos.
