PR may work against Toyota at the moment - current message is "the World Champion didn't want to continue with the team" and it's up to everyone to interpret, why so. At the same time, Hyundai stole the glory. Quite sour title for Toyota at the moment, in the future - the fact stays, related emotions probably not.

Think it all depends on the manu title.
If Toyota gets it they can still get maximum PR, you know winning both and best in the world etc. and that "one guy" is leaving, won't be so important.
If they loose the manu title it would be almost like they won nothing at all.

That's their fault. Like in some other companies. If good and quality workers are leaving voluntarily than it must be something really wrong. And bosses could do anything, I mean really anything to keep them, but they don't. Like in this case.

Just to remember that when Michael Zotos left after some few months when yaris project started ,it was so strange for plenty of us.
Zotos was Makinens chief engineer at Mitsubishi days.

I think that TM probably thought that his bargaining position was stronger than it turned out to be. 1st - everybody agreed that Yaris is best car at the moment and it would make sense for Ott to stay; 2nd - Neuville and Ogier having signed contracts with their teams means that only MSport is viable alternative but their budget is not comparable to Toyota; 3rd - going to Hyundai or Citroen didnt seem like serious option, more like distraction, as at least in recent years usually every team tries to have one star driver and support drivers - having 2 stars in same team is very expensive and possibly damaging for climate. So one could forgive Tommi in playing it hard and calling Otts bluff until it turned out not to be bluff after all, but by then damage was done.

I guess there's been some stuff going on in Estonia, but considering how crazy the fans are I'm surprised we haven't seen something like Petter's welcome home in 2003. Anything?
The Skoda rally commercial has been running on TV even in Norway
