They talked to Tanak after he announced he was leaving Hyundai so they were trying to do a deal. Breen out surely means another driver in and Tanak has history with them.
Maybe M.Wilson will have a last hurrah with his team & the Puma and fund the deal himself...

I know everyone was speculating that Ott wont go to M-Sport because it wont make sense. Car is behind in development and funding quiestions, but this news made me thought that what if it actually makes sense.
I mean, maybe Ott going back to M-sport is his way to thank M.Wilson, and also, maybe salary isnt big issue and Ott would come down with numbers, because as Hyundai years showed, money can be good, but i you dont have car, then it hard to fight. Also he mentioned new challenges. Maybe the new challenge is to help to develop Puma to be equal with others. Comparing to Hyundai I think M-Sport has 100% trust in Ott feedback and developing questions whereas in Hyundai there could be scissors between going Ott whay of development or Thierrys way. And I wont think M-Sport would end Breens contract if they wouldnt try to make room for someone else. I mean there isnt anyone really better to take besides Ott and it only would make sense if Tänak is moving to M-Sport.
My two cents after Breen news.
Argue!

Any chance Tanak will ask and get to test the Puma before making a decision ?
(I assume if he has a Toyota option too then neither team would let him test.)

I think it's more politics. These are not brands that are by their philosophy to be engaged in factory operations in WRC. So engaging with customer operations - no doubt with heavily subsidised...
