The most interesting thing about that article is that not even Loeb's few drives seem secured for next year.
In addition to Fourmaux missing from these articles, Solberg's name is not brought up. Could it be that Solbergs are looking more at the rental Yaris?
Maybe Fourmaux made himself too expensive due to the crashes. Miller also mentioned the team effort, surely fixing and rebuilding all those cars for Breen and Fourmaux has not been great. Also looking at how many issues the Pumas driven by people that payed had, including power steering and fogging up then if you can afford it the Toyota would be first choice I think.
FFSA has a lot of money, so both Loubet and Fourmaux might be there. It seems that Greensmith will be the leading driver at M-Sport. It´s so weird that Ford is always helping and developing the new rally cars for M-Sport, but their support will end, when needed some money to get a proper driver. No sense at all!
Solberg has Monster support and Petter might think that the best way to follow Kalle´s career is to get the same car for Oliver.
If FB translated correctly then in Estonian big rally group someone wrote that Tanak was seen at Tallin airport and flying to Frankfurd with helmet bag.
Frankfurt and Copenhagen are the most efficient airports to fly via, from Tallinn to Manchester...Quote:

I don't see any merit in trying to find some conspiracy or hidden meaning here. A rally driver flying somewhere with a helmet bag is pretty normal... why would he bother to hide it? It's not like he's under contract somewhere and needs to keep a low profile. And he's one of Estonia's most famous sportspeople, so it's not like he'd just blend into the background and not be noticed at Tallinn airport...
