    Quite straight talk from Hänninen. "I would lie if I said I wasn't pissed off" when learned about not having a seat at TGR for 2018.

    Juho also says that while it "probably would be possible to rent a car from M-Sport" (in 2018) he won't do that as that road has already been seen.

    Regarding the future he says that there are "no specific plans", but that he hasn't retired and is willing to drive again "as long as the offer makes sense" (presumably meaning that from sporting point of view). "Let's drive in Wales and then see where we are".

    I think Juho can be happy that he got a seat this year. If it wasn't for them, he wouldn't have been driving elsewhere.

    It's also funny that some of the same people who wanted Toyota to sack Hänninen quickly after the bad start of the season are now mad to Toyota for doing so based on only the beginning of the season.

    The occasions when the world champion has left the team:
    1979 Waldegård with Ford (and Mercedes) --> 1980 to Mercedes, Fiat and Toyota
    1981 Vatanen with Ford -- 1982 to private Ford (because Ford works team didn't run in 1982)
    1982 Röhrl with Opel --> 1983 to Lancia
    1986 Kankkunen with Peugeot --> 1987 to Lancia (because Peugeot didn't continue in Group A)
    1987 Kankkunen with Lancia --> 1988 to Toyota
    1992 Sainz with Toyota --> 1993 to Lancia
    2001 Burns with Subaru --> 2002 to Peugeot
    2016 Ogier with VW --> 2017 to M-Sport (because VW quit)

    Yep, no one likes to be fired…

    He sounds like he won’t be Toy’s test driver. Will Wilson pay for him?

    Hanninen will be doing some development work in the future, but he obviously rather drive than be in the back end of things.
