Problably that’s why it’s said this is only a one year deal.
The internet seems perfect to create or spread rumors…it’d be nice to see this one turning out to be true.
there were some rumors about Paddons manager that was very good friend of Penasse.Quote:

M-Sport
1. Ogier
2. Tänak
3. Camilli
DMACK
Evans
Adapta
Østberg (2016 car in MC)
so, according Wilson 6 cars in Portugal,
maybe Prokop (he tested 2017 car in first sessions)?
Latest rumours - dont know if its true - is that Toyota will not have Latvala or Mikkelsen because then they cant blame drivers if car is not fast enough.
these rumours say Häninen, Lappi and Suninen.
If this is the case I will be deeply disapointed.
No disrespect too lappi and Suninen, byt when you have two top drivers like Latvala and Mikkelsen floating around, this is the chance of a life time, and those two would speed up the development prosess immensely. And would make Toyota a contender from the word go.
It would be shocking, if true. And it would practically leave one of them or even both without a proper seat for next year...Quote:
