Ott Tänak - Future champion?

So I really doubt, that there was anything to do with Märtin wanting to run the whole R5 project or smth, if they really don't even know much about it..

When asked by the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat to comment on Märtin's statement, Jouhki said: "He said in the interview that my last world champion was Tommi Mäkinen. I can answer that since that my drivers have won 35 rallies, have had many second places in the championship, having become the WRC2 World Champion and so on. So I can't possibly consider myself a man of last winter. If a man like Marrko starts to criticise then let him have his own opinion"

Yeah I read it too. He actually doesn't answer the question just acts like he's superior but no on point answers

This seems to have really hit the mark on Jouhki which is actually really funny.

In that same period just Gronholm alone (the non-Jouhki Finnish driver) had 29 rally wins, Ogier 47 and Loeb 79, brings some perspective to those numbers.

Feels even more funny if we mention Jouhki's last WRC champion was Mäkinen during the previous century:)
In the future the manager will get one more champion under his belt (Rovanperä) but I think Kalle would have gone to Toyota with or without Jouhki's management.

WRC 2019 - Season Onboard Ott Tänak

Jon Noble asked Ott at the FIA gala how the Hyundai test was but like always he avoided the question and started talking instead about changing the team, when he finished Noble asked again: "But was it comfortable?" and Ott kind of ironically answered:"yes it was" :D

if anybody is intesrested you can watch he Gala here https://www.facebook.com/pg/fia/vide...=page_internal (the stream went offline now, Otts interview is first if you replay it)

Ott seemed very relaxed about the questions on moving to Hyundai. He said there were no hard feelings between him and Makinen.

Could be another pointer that Tommi had Ogier lined-up all along...
