    Deal was made in July, signed later about month ago.

    All speculation after that was just PR talk.

    Now for M-Sport sake I hope Ogier stays!

    I would rather see that too... So Breen could have full programme. He really deserves it.

    I think Juho's career is ending. Toyota thanks him for everything he's done, his co-driver goes to work as Toyota's Sporting Director and he said a year ago in an interview that soon it's time to go back to farming full-time, and to spend time with his kids.

    Maybe in few years he will get a call from new manufacturer to develop a car.

    It´s good for Ott, because he will get a lot of money, but the Fiesta was made for him. Not be surprised if he is not able to find the same kind of speed with the Yaris straight away. He was talking to stay in the best team also next year. Without the doubt M-Sport is still the best team, so this was just bullshit Toyota is almost there, but not yet. There is still a lot of work to do to achieve M-Sport´s level...

    Was thinking that Tommi will trust Jari-Matti and Esapekka, but after that it´s clear that their position is not so high anymore. Esapekka is now clearly the 3rd driver. Of course Tommi´s main target is to get Manufacturer´s title for Toyota and it´s possible with this kind of driver line-up.

    Sad for Juho, but happy that he got at least one full season behind the wheel of the World Rally Car. Hopefully he will still drive a couple of events. Surely his testing work with the Toyota will continue.

    Shame on Ford that they are totally lost! There was a possibility to keep Malcolm´s dream team together, but sadly Ford is American company and the board can not understand that now was the right time to make a decision to come back to the WRC full time. Maybe something is still going on, but it´s too late already

    Maybe he know Ogier stays? With Ogier in same team nobody has real chances to fight for title, not due to skills, bud because name. Loeb did that (maybe not on purpose) on Ogier, now Ogier on everybody else. And Tanak don't want to stay in Ogier's shadow. Money also helps.

    And he will be closer to home... He have a little child to take care of. And to raise a future star of motorsport.
