Is this whole joke family business for real ? they are a disgrace to the sport.

It's called "ego", you should know it very well "dear leader".

Because it might break the camera lens?

Hänninen or Ostberg to be named first? I imagine Skoda might not want Lappi to be named with another manufacturer until the season is over.

The more I think about it I will admit it's kind of strange having the Lancer photo up there - but okay it's not ultimately going to make or break the WRC programme.

It was explained that Japan had ordered no pictures from front or back, engine and some yet-to-be-homologated roll cage design.

I remember reading early into the project how Mäkinen wanted to built up similar team philosophy what he experienced with Mitsubishi. Maybe the poster is up there to remind him and everyone else about that. Though, I hear you, it is weird when placed in current brand-protective time.

Then i suggest that Hanninen brings some posters from his skoda days since he won titles with them for some extra motivation.

Dog amateur team with a free fall to flop ahead.

Makinen is not the Boss either. The boss is Toyota and that nobody is being unprofessional towards them to say the least.
