Nonsense, he was runner up three times, easily the best of the rest for years, and at one moment likely the quickest on raw speed.

Tommi has the biggest budget. Your 1st driver’s contract ends. Why Tommi making a decision for 1st driver is ruled out?
What if for the same amount of money he could get Ogier?
Just thinking out loud...
Rough translation from Mäkinen's Finnish interview I was referring to:
If we assume Ott is going to Hyundai, in a way I’m disappointed because I have always said that it would be best (for the sport) if every team would have one star driver in its roster but this is tough business and I think Adamo has said that he’s only interested in their own success. I am maybe looking a bit more at the overall picture, that what would keep people interested (in rallying).
Securing future in terms of running a manuf. R5 team is also quite tempting.
