Lappi to Hyundai https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/lappi...undai-in-2023/
2nd time Lappi goes from seemingly good spot at Toyota to a risky "better" spot at different team. Quite interesting given his Citroen experience. Was expecting Evans to be the fulltime driver.
Sounds like Tanak part time at Toyota then.
Car sharing at Hyundai could be just about anyone. Only certainty is that Sordo won't be doing full season.
Maybe Meeke will take Lappis part time drive at Toyota
What if Toyota lost Lappi because they were too slow waiting for Japan blessing the lineup and in the meantime he or Hyundai called each other?
Guess we should know when Toyota lineup is announced. If it's Tanak then Toyota gained, anything else would be a loss.
I think Latvala wanted Lappi (just guessing) but he’s not the one to call those shots, and Toyota decided they want Tanak back, guess we’ll know soon enough, maybe tomorrow (wishful thinking) Hyundai will officially announce something so at least one piece of the puzzle will be in place.
I say: it looks obvious - Tanak and Ogier will share the car, that will allow Ott to focus on private matters as a priority and stay sharp for possible full time return in 2024 or 2025. I doubt he has decided that it was enough with 1 title.
