Told by a very well placed source that Tanak's move to Toyota is a done deal. Tell you why I think it's a bit of a gamble from the KT later

2018 Teams
Looking forward to fifteen minutes of contradictory waffle.
KT bingo:
Some speculation about the length of Ott's contract
How will he establish himself between Latvala and Lappi - is he a team leader
When will Latvala retire - is that Ott's big opportunity
The fact that Ott has shown better than Latvala on asphalt this year - the missing piece of Latvala's jigsaw
How big the Toyota budget is
How good a car the Yaris is
How good will the development be next year - is it the best car or have others moved ahead, ie Citroen
What next for MSport - if Seb goes to Citroen who is left on the market
Some speculation about Paddon moving to MSport to partner Evans and Sunninen
Etc. Etc.

Well at least we have some gossip. The Tanak deal was solidified in Spain and Hanninen was dropped unless they run a 4th car. He is said to still do some testing work. Hence why he was emotional at the end of the stage. If that really is the case I sure hope the guy drives his ass off for the next two rallies.
Also could it be that Tanak knows he might be impaired if Ogier stays which seems to be the case and the team is running on a thin budget due to his staying. I wouldn’t want to be in that situation. I would leave to Toyota as well.

Yeah there would be more finance spare if they don't have to pay for both Ogier and Tanak next year, but I don't buy into this rumoured "transfer penalty". How can you have that when Ott's contract is up and he's free to speak to any team he wants? It's not like Toyota have to buy out his existing contract that has x number of years left to run...

Maybe Tanak has insisted on a payment to M-Sport as part of the deal..
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
