    This story was actually available late last year but better late than never. A few interesting bits from Tommi. Honestly I think Latvala is trying to talk himself into believing he can win.

    I think it will be online in a few days but the main points are:

    - Latvala says he and Toyota need more consistency. Speed is there
    - He says he will try to use Ogier's 2017 season as the blueprint (not going for the win every round, settling for podiums etc)
    - Start every rally aiming for the podium - go for the win if he can
    - They found something on the suspension in Wales which really helped them. Big confidence boost
    - They worked with the car in Japan post Rally Australia to help solve overheating issues (Argentina/Mexico)

    - Makinen blames outsourced parts failure. 2017 retirements not the team's fault (e.g. ECU in Finland)
    - Microsoft helped them get the car up to speed quicker ahead of 2017 (quicker simulations, computing power)
    - Makinen helped JML get up to speed with the car initially by switching the settings to his own driving style, which is similar to Jari's. Compared to Hanninen's smoother style
    - New for 2018: front aero and more suspension work. No massive changes. New front design means they can break a splitter and not have to replace the entire front bumper
    - For 2020 Tommi says he'd like to take both titles. It's a big year for Toyota as they are chief sponsor of the Olympics in Tokyo

    Latvala is the only person who worries me when he tries to follow a plan. It's not the same now but he's again comparing himself and trying to match Ogier. I don't know how he'll fare if he can't keep up...

    If they move those small stickers, it wouldn`t be that bad. Hopefully they were running out of time and had to put them somewhere quickly and will make it better for the eye before RMC. M-Sport also changed a bit last year.
