    MN journo getting delusional, again...

    The only interesting part of this piece is Makinen’s mention on Japan orders: “We have to talk to the Japanese about what they want from next year and we are doing that at the moment. We know more soon after that.” So, Mr, Toyoda actually has some saying on which driver the team will pick next season. Toyoda is used to think and act big; most likely he’ll go for Ogier.

    So every time David Evans re-publishes his story he will add a team?

    Really does he try to tell everyone that E. Evans was more wanted than Ogier, Tanak or Mikkelsen?

    Also
    "Hyundai has come close to signing Evans before – he would have driven for the Korean team if Thierry Neuville had gone elsewhere this season"

    Surely this must mean before VW announced to pull out? Or is he again trying to say that Hyundai would prefer to have Sordo, Paddon and Evans rather than Ogier, Sordo, Paddon in 2017?

    Note that Evans spend two full seasons in WRC, then got kicked to WRC2 for 2016 and ended 3rd behind Lappi and Sunninen. Surely based on that he was first pick for 2017.

    Evans may not be the 'most wanted' in driving terms, but he might be the easiest in terms of availability and cost...

    Now it's getting ridiculous..."Evans reckoned to be on his way to Hyundai to replace Sordo." reckoned by whom? And "team principal Michel Nandan says he will field an unchanged squad next year" like we all know and have known all along.

    Naah... it was actually the same last year, Tommi was saying that back then as well. I don't necessarily buy it - Tommi just has various explanations in order to silence the discussion about 2018.

    Qatar is in a lot of trouble right now. Backing Nasser's motorsports activities is probably very low on their priority list.
