    Any insight as to why they seem to be losing a lot of their people? E.g. Lehtinen, Simon Carrier, before Finland it looked like Tom Fowler was leaving, etc. I would assume that if they were losing people it would be because they didn't have the budget to retain them. Hard to understand well-paid employees leaving a team with so much promise for the future.

    Because Tommi is a nightmare to work for...

    Even Finns have been stampeding out the door....

    Not at all. I'm assuming Tommi is under a lot of pressure from Toyota high-ups.

    Maybe something like this

    Tommi: We want more money

    Toyota: Okay, why?

    Tommi: So we can compete at top level

    Toyota: Here you go.. now go compete at top level

    Tommi: Fu@k!!

    Veiby had to turn down Hyundai due to existing contracts, the shoot out also clashed with Malaysia.
