Jouhki blasting Märtin and Tänak and the game they've played in negotiations, saying it's "unbelievable" what they've done. "It's been very unprofessional, and I've been around for 35 years. I would never do such things myself. These kind of actions will be remembered." There's speculation (not directly by Jouhki though) that Märtin and Tänak have tried to "steal" Toyota's R5 project or atleast parts of it (whatever that means) for MM Motorsport.
I must say, that Jouhki has been extremely vocal about all of this. Of course, the Finnish media turns to him at every moment but I don't remember him being so vocal about anything. Obviously it's understandable. He has his interests with Toyota and Mäkinen must a good friend.
And while I think it's kind of weird for Jouhki to be so vocal, I do believe that he knows excactly what kind of shitagians have been going on and it's obvious he'd like to spank Ott and Markko for being naughty. If it'd be a normal contract negotiations, he'd say a thing here or there not be in the spotlight for weeks.
same thoughts.. haven't noticed it before, but now during the whole Tänak's contract thing he always has something to say :D Yes, he has brought many youngster to WRC and got them seats.. But his last WRC champion was 17y ago, Tommi Mäkinen.Quote:

- Rovanperä
etc
Ofcourse he has to get to Tommi's side

It's obvious that he's not pleased - I'd even say he is pissed about it - how Tänak and Märtin have handled things. To me, the sad part is, that unless somebody from Toyota or Jouhki speaks, we will never know what really happened. Because Ott nor Markko aren't going to speak about it for sure.Quote:
