I believe that Avensis is even older...could be another FL again (or are there other talks about a completely new chassie in the article).

So what will that mean for the proposed Yaris R5, will they hold off for the new model or enter the category with the current shape?

Firstly they have to start building one. VW announced its plans in late 2016 i think and the car will debut in ADAC 2018+ they already have a testmule based on the same platform (Fabia r5), so it`s not 1-2-3. Maybe they have started it already in some way but if i remember correctly, Mäkinen said it will be made in Tallinn and their new division there will be ready in a few months time. 2019 is here quite soon...

Interesting news indeed. VW also did it with their Polo R WRC (the road car), which was different from the standard version by more than just a bigger engine. The drivetrain or engine is not really an issue, because by regulation they can be changed. The bodyshell is more of a problem, because it comes from the production car and the scope of modification is very limited. So if they can optimise the base chassis already, it could prove to be very good return on investment of re-tooling/re-organising the production line "only" to make 25000 cars. It's quite smart really.

I'm miss a little bit... so if Lindstrom will be in Australia in new role with a team - so Juho without co-driver or last rally for Juho and Toyota will be GB?

Disheartened Lando Norris rules out any chance of an F1 race win soon. Lando Norris has had limited chances to claim his maiden F1 win since 2019 and doesn't expect to see the top step on the podium...
