Any translation of this article? http://www.mundodeportivo.com/motor/...medium=twitter
I used google translate and seems Makkinen wants to recruit him for his wrc team for the future. It also says Makkinen's concern for lack of talent in current wrc field to challenge Ogier.Quote:

Slightly connected 'news' - but while watching Le Mans they said that the LMP1 programme, and the new WRC programme is being financed from the R&D division, not marketing.
A bit late but I second this...Quote:

Michael Zotos has left Toyota. Confirmed by Lehtinen in Motorsport News.
No word on why. The piece also says there have been reported issues with the transmission and cooling of the engine bay. Expected to start asphalt testing in the next month.
unfortunately bad news for the project...
I agree. There must be some very good reason for such step just 5 months before everything must be ready for homologation.
the flop begins...

If you have a good employment and love what you´re doing, there no bad place. And nearby Jyväskylä isn´t bad at all.Quote:

From what I heard Zotos already had a reputation for being "a bit" difficult to work with when he was at Prodrive.Quote:
