To be fair going to MSport looked like a good decision when he did it. But sure leaving Toyota was bad idea.

Yep, he is always a bit of a jerk when talking to Molly, no idea why.

He probably would have more titles by staying in Toyota, that can be claimed with some certainty.

But speculating what would have happened if he signed different manager in 2010 is completely...

There are 3 different issues:
1. Competition ban which you are mentioning is for FIA or rally organizer (Rally Estonia did ban him). And this is what Tanak was asked about.

Last year there were...

He had the "art" on his helmet since I believe Estonia 2021. You probably noticed that things have been going on since 2014.




I brought it up. Right now he arguably is the biggest favorite...

He talks (is asked about) Gryazin.

I write that the whole issue is especially interesting now in Monte since Gryazin is Skodas best chance for a win in WRC2. Solberg might be fastest Rally2, but...

Interesting info was that he says the unexpected handling in Finland was at high speeds due to aerodynamics. That sounds quite weird to me.

I have a bit of an issue with him saying he didn't...

"Contract what contract ? What I say goes !"

- Adamo Says parody Twitter

So after all the clarifying and rumors we now have two complete opposites with Tanak leaving and Redgrey ending on one side and Redgrey+Martin taking over whole Hyundai.

Indeed that's a new idea (to me at least).

How much "managing" has Martin done at any point? (I have no idea, just asking). Might be a bit strange that a current (or former in that case) manager...

Ogier lacked raw speed for 2 years at MSport and still won both championships.

So realistic yes, but Tanak talks like it's the end of the world everytime he is not winning every stage and leading...

Dirtfish were(are) Adamo's fanboys/friends.

Some connection.there?

I totally wouldn't be surprised if there are some text messages being sent between Wilson and Tanak to see what is possible. Either one of them has reasons to start it.

I agree that in 2019 Hyundai was on an upward trajectory. They improved the car on fast gravel (Finland 2019) and were spending tons of money on testing rallies with Loeb to improved tarmac (which...

My point is:

- He didn't go to Hyundai to get 3rd and 5th place in championship (and only 2 rally wins). It is very likely he would have done better in Toyota.

- The "car issues" were quite...

Don't buy that he was thinking about 2022. Specially after his talk about "having the title chance now" in Toyota in 2018.

As you know at Hyundai he was often pushing.even when not completely...

His own words were that when he saw Neuville fighting with him in GB 2019 he got convinced that the Hyundai is a winning car and (finally?) decided to leave.

Surely some reflection on that would...

The big (seemingly unasked) question is why he signed for Hyundai and how he views the decision now.

Loeb was saying the same things about the car (particularly on tarmac) a year before, Mikkelsen...

Tommi getting kicked was definitely in.large part due to Tanak leaving. The optics at end of 2019 were just terrible for Toyota. In Spain most of the talk was about Tanak leaving, not about Toyota...

- 2 remaining rough events (will something break again?)
- 3 tarmac events (where he struggles with the car)

- 2 events where he does great

Not a good outlook.

This seems to have really hit the mark on Jouhki which is actually really funny.

In that same period just Gronholm alone (the non-Jouhki Finnish driver) had 29 rally wins, Ogier 47 and Loeb 79,...

...and you say the sign on the car doesn't say that.

No shit, we can all read 2 words can't we? I was referring to "other fans in various forums", which I quoted.

Maybe you should read what I am responding to before writing...

Totally agree on both points:

- too early, lots of things can happen

- screaming "Tanak best others suck" is retarded, specially since he has 0 titles atm and likely drives the fastest car...

I believe I saw the 15 mil when Toyota (and not Tommi) wanted Ogier, could have been wrong and M. Wuoerla likely has much better info. Note that he lists 9M for Ogier with bonuses at MSport.
