Vahetult enne Kreeka rallit sai siinkirjutaja allikalt sõnumi, mis ütles: „Hyundai oli valmis Rovanperäle maksma rekordilist palka, kuid ei saanud soomlast kätte. Nüüd jahitakse Ott Tänakut.“

which rougly translates to:
"Shortly before the Rally of Greece, this writer received a message from a source who said: “Hyundai was ready to pay Rovanperä a record salary, but could not get the Finn. Now Ott Tänaku is being hunted."

I have the access to Delfi pay content but it's Martinson's writings so it's utterly irrelevant crap anyways that I haven't even bothered to take a look at it

I Agree, but after Estonia Finland and now Today, it doesnt sound so crazy anymore, Hyundai has changed alot: Abiteboul, FX. things are much more stable now compared to when Tänak left.

Since Ogier dont want to do a full season its Hyundai or M-Sport for Ott

Or retirement. He has successfully managed to spit in every well so far.

Nope, he clearly said he’s driving full time next year

The burnt bridges and spit in the well is all made up by rally fans

Both Loubet and Tänak water pump issues shows that there must be also some serious unprofessional job by M-Sport mechanics. Such a shame!

Criticism is fine and justified, but constantly calling a team tin-pot and unprofessional is not necessary. And especially seeming to delight in any opportunity to do so.

They aren't doing badly on purpose and you dont know the facts of the Team staffing and financial situation. Ditto with supplied components failing.
