    Amount of profit they're making is so unreal. How Toyota even accepts that?

    One option can be that they got bonuses for every podium and even better for first place since they weren't really expected to have many in the first year.
    Now when making the budget for the year they can't count they will get the bonuses and if they then get them they only add up.

    Is it? Prodrive, M-Sport, TMR and anyone else who is effectively a motorsport agency for a manufacturer are in the game to make profit.

    Well had Toyota used their own factory/facilities in Köln they probably could have saved TMR profit at least..

    But taking that amount of a cut from the budget without winning any championships etc sounds pretty insane to me. Use the money to win and then make the profit.

    Toyota`s pure profit was 5.88 BILLION dollars during the last quarter so probably they see no problem in TMR`s profit also...

    Sounds to me like he's looking elsewhere away from WRC for his future.

    Very interesting. Not his first circuit racing foray, but at this stage in his career let's see how he gets on and whether his head gets turned. Tough series to be dropped into the middle of though...

    If he looses title I don't think he'll leave.

    If he wins it's more likely than last year as he has shown real speed again so he would retire on a high.
