I also found that strange although straight after that he said that he understands that Elfyn is not available. But why would you bring it up then? As we don't get the video or sound to have the facial and tonal expressions but it might have looked like he said something he didn't want to say and corrected it quickly afterwards :D

Maybe Neuville is the kind of person that can not keep a secret hehe

The best repartition for the championship would be something like:

Toyota:
Rovanpera
Lappi/Ogier/Katsuta sharing the 2 other cars
Or Rovanpera/Evans + Ogier/Katsuta sharing the 3rd car

Hyundai:
Neuville
Evans
Sordo/Mikkelsen (sharing 3rd car)
Or Neuville + Lappi/Sordo/Mikkelsen sharing the two other cars

M-Sport:
Tanak
Breen
Whoever they could (something with youngsters such as Solberg or Loubet would be the best but don’t know if they can afford it + Tanak instead of a Greensmith for example).

So, apart from Estonian sport news reporter Martinson, has anyone else heard that Tänak had a chance to test a Toyota in Puuppola ? Total BS?

Didn't Toyota move their workshop away from Puupola?

Like user Cali said, you can never believe what Ott says about his future

Yup... when i readed the announcment last night i instantly thought about that interview and the post that i made.

But anyway, now that Tänak is leaving HMS for sure, my crystal ball prediction is that, Evans either goes to hyundai or msport, Tänak to Toyota, and Ogier decides to do a full season aswell, Lappi, hmm what the hell, lets say lappi also goes to Hyundai to share a car with Mikkelsen because Sordo will decide to retire also.

Lets see how well this post ages.

Yeah, it's now in Jyväskylä, but even in the Puuppola days they didn't really test the cars in Puuppola

So total BS from that journalist.

What about Tänak sharing the 4th car with Ogier? Has more time family and a great car. Win win situation for him.
