If we believe all the comments above then Lappi is the only option for M-Sport's 2nd car. 3rd car goes to whoever pays.

So we could have the folowing line up?
Toyota:
Ogier
Evans
Rovanperra
Katsuta in 4th car for some rally's
Hyundai:
Neuville
Tanak
Loeb
Sordo
M sport:
Suninen
Lappi
Greensmith
Private Toyota for Latvala on some rally's (like sead here semi official, close to Toyota team)
Hyundai sattelite team whit Mikkelsen and Breen
If this Hyundai 2 team would actualy come true, i could see Ostberg having a go there also.
Meeke has had his chanses i think, but i must agree i would mis him if he isnt there in 2020. For Paddon things dont look that good ether..
Whit al these free top drivers it seems like a perfect time to see some private teams.. (remember Stobart, Munchi's, Adapta, Redbull skoda,..)

I could also see Mikkelsen and Østberg in the same team.
regarding private teams, the Wrc cars of today are very expensive to buy and maintain, so I am not too optimistic. Would love privat teams to happen, but all I Could see is Citroens, and not many would like to drive them.
maybe some Fords are possible, but I Am guessing few others.

"Private" Team couldn´t it also mean just putting money in and factory teams manage and maintain cars under own roof?
I mean a lot of logistics to save.
But downside would mean Factory teams have to expand facilties, transports etc..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

I don't believe that Hyundai are willing to put their cars available for buying or renting. They said it couple of years ago that they don't allow that. Except old gen cars.
Toyota I think is more open for that but only for a selected drivers not anyone.
M-Sport is free and are happy of anyone driving their cars, so easiest solution is their cars.
Citroen, nah. Why would anyone bother if the car is so bad that even the best drivers of the world left them. Only Ostberg could get them a go, but I think he will rather look elsewhere now.
