Let's get all rumours out then, here's another one. Mäkinen wanted a part of Ott's salary to himself.

Was checking the points table and realised that Rovanperä has won 6 out of 9 Powerstages = 30 extra points..
That's massive, how much PS means through the season..

Makinens friends and close associates provided parts to Toyota, allowing Makinen to get parts cheaper and allowing his companions to have access to the unlimited Japanese money. This all was the main cause for Toyotas reliability issues and played a big part in Tanaks departure. Ie 2019 Sardegna

Oh I thought this was a game. I'm not laughing this off but will ask - if Makinen had unlimited Yen, why is he going for cheaper parts? Tell the associates to source the best parts and name the price.

Based on latest press release, seems like they're on okay terms to me.
P.S. to Ott
Congratulations on your victory! I sent a message to you in December 2019 saying “let’s meet on the podium again and I will spray champagne at you”. It didn’t come true in Belgium, so it must happen in Japan for sure!”

At that time he could cash more from Japan and use cheaper parts which usually generates you more profit. Remember, TGR and TMR were separate companies and TMR made huge profits year by year. Some of the profits were even moved to Estonia bcs of cheaper taxes and that's why they moved some of the operations close to Tallinn.
When japanese took over Tallinn got immediate boot.

If him being an idiot is the point being made, fair enough!

It's even not the point to make but reality.
Tänak on the other hand was pushing more and quite rudely sometimes. That's what I've heard as well.
