Then there would be three drivers fighting for the title (Ogier, Tänak & Rovanperä), three other for the wins & podiums (Evans, Neuville & Lappi) and some other Rally1 drivers also. Surely Katsuta & Suninen, maybe Lindholm, Fourmaux, Loubet, Solberg, Greensmith some rounds at least.

M-Sport had their chance during this year and failed badly, so better to have Tänak driving Toyota again.

i really cannot believe tanak and rovanpera in the same team.

Does Ogier want to come back full-time again ? He seemed pretty sure after he stopped that he would just do his favourite events.

I am not so sure anymore, as he wanted to do Finland this year...if we believe official statements.

Well, since Toyota is very proud and loud about their No team order policy i can see that happening, also Manu championship wise Evans Tänak Rovanperä would be one hell of a team

yeah, but that clashes with the ogier vs rovanpera argument discussed before.
i think the no order policy is possible when the driver are not really level, even for the slightest...

If he was that keen to return to doing the full season he could've arranged it with Toyota. After all he was leading the Championship earlier this season despite doing less events than anyone.

If Ogier were to drive a full season he would have to be prepared to start the fridays on a poor start position in gravel rallies.
He did that for 10 years and complained about it loudly everytime. :D
I don't think wants that anymore.

Is the clash make Kella and the whole team unhappy for Ogier? I think Kenya is the key point right,Maybe Toyota
feel Ogier should let Kella pass by .But Ogier want to prove he is still the king that can't beat by anyone

Toyota team has many times pointed out how they are against any team orders. Still I also believe the team would have liked if Ogier would have given the win to Kalle, who is a championship contender.

If both would be driving for the championship, then the better driver will win.
