Silly Season 2020

Why do you think he was kept in the dark? It`s not like he would go public with the news first...and/or ruin the TGR success story...

Well if Ogier really are joining Toyots then Tommi was maybe just playing to be stupid and nothing to know about it, because if Ogier is dealing with some legal shit with citroens contract before changing team, then it couldnt be surprise for Tommi. Ogier and Toyota had to start negotiating some time ago.

That relationship will be ruined for good, no matter the explanation.

First of all it's Mäkinen who has ruined it
He knows it and has been up to date, it's just a play for the bigger public
Official announcement will be made by as planned, if it's not logical to you or someone else then so be it
Every time when contracts are agreed there will be leaks be it in Formula One or WRC, there's always someone who will not keep his mouth shut

If you look at Mäkinen's statements since the Hyundai announcement it's clear he was in the dark. He literally said there is no plan B for Toyota at the moment. His attitude changed completely from Wales to Catalunya.

Tommi or his lady...

Nobody here knows the meetings and relations between Tommi/TGR and Ott/Märtin atm. Either side could be pissed of abouth smth and may have left it the way it was..
It's sure that Tommi knows the situation, but come on.. show some respect and emotions to the crew that brought TGR(mostly) the 18' WMC and now 19' WDC.. Instead he, Kaj and others sit in the service and barely smile..
