Muller could leave WTCC to do World RX. He did Lohéac with Albatec, and then tested the Audi S3 of Münnich Motorsport.Quote:

What say Malcolm Wilson? 'There comes other drivers on the market.' I see Lappi next year in a M-Sport Ford.Quote:

Everyone happy.
I was thinking about this after I read the interview with Capito on Lappi.
I am thinking that lappi is confirmed to continue in Škoda in WRC-2 for next year.But Dieselgate should change everything.
For me personally is too early to put Lappi in WRC.This year he made a lot of mistakes.
Not only this year. In APRC he lost against Gill, in WRC2 he lost against Al Attiyah (and several others) and in ERC he nearly lost against Wiegand. Only the accident of Wiegand on Tour de Corse 2014 saved him from loosing three times in a row against opponents which he shall have easily beaten and moreover also against his own teammates/support drivers.
2012, 2013 and 2014 in an S2000, most of it as part of the Skoda team, then a year in R5 this year plus who knows how much testing? If he isn't ready/good enough by now to try a WRC car, will he ever be?
The time is right for Lappi, but the time is wrong for VW. Unfortunate.

A second year in WRC2 learning some more discipline can only be good for Lappi. He's 24 and in the next years factory teams will be hungry for new drivers. No reason to be in a hurry for a WRC car, especially if that car is a VW.
