    Yeh, what I mean is that Lappi is not a Sordo, an experienced guy to secure manufacturer points, but he's not either a total newbie, having already won a rally and being on the pace in all rallies this year. It's true that 2018 is more of an experience gaining year for Lappi, but he's also capable of winning. Maybe Latvala will become the experienced guy who secures manufacturer points when the wild fast guys fail? Wouldn't have expected to say that a year ago.

    Well, Evans for instance has scored points for M-Sport on three occasions, but they would still be comfortabely in lead without those points. It shouldn`t be only M-Sport who gives seats and opportunities to young and developing drivers.

    seems like a payback to Ogiers comments after his first test before a year.
    Om the other hand I don`t think Tommi has the final decision who he gets to sign, this decision comes from the ones who actually pay..

    Why sad as a Latvala fan? As far as I know Latvala and Tanak get along quite well. Add Lappi to the mix and I believe Toyota will have the best team climate in the championship.

    It´s true that now TGR has three #1's, which may be a big problem.

    All the drivers are able to drive very fast, but also happens to crash many times during the season. Maybe sporting director Kaj Lindström can make event by event strategy and someone will secure points every time

    Will be interesting season!

    Latvala has crashed only once this season, in Portugal, and it was probably because he was ill with fever.

    In the previous years, Latvala used to crash often by going too wide sideways, often knocking a rear wheel. He hasn't done that with the Yaris. Maybe the car suits his style better? Or it's just that he drives better with active center diff?

    Latvala did the best season in my opinion, but now is different, he is week and Tänak will put big pressure.
