Personally, I completely refuse to click links to these crap magazines.

You call that a magazine? No but in all seriousness, I should have added a disclaimer not to click on the links. The point was just to show the amount of s*** all parties involved have had to tolerate lately.

To me it´s likely Ott already has contract with Toyota. Meeke stays. Makinen will hire new 3rd driver (not Katsuta).

Suninen, Ostberg could be possible 3rd driver at Toyota.

JML goes to Ford, where Evans stays and Kalle makes his first outings over the year.

Anyone out there is thinking that Hyundai may pull out at the end of 2019?
Rational would say : it depends if they can get a manufacturer / driver title.
However those decisions are made earlier and irrespective of the final result and / or irrationally to the common poeple (VW being an example in my opinion).

Anyway, I wouldn't be so confident in the future if I were Neuville.

Quite possible.

And maybe why Adamo is coming across as really desperate for the Manus title, if he knows they will pull out if he doesnt deliver it...

Another point - it would be really stupid and dangerous in this state of championship situation and calendar to start criticize (and demotivate) Meeke and JML. It make more sense to say some good words and keep the motivation up (and possibility to next year for their point of view).

Completely agree, even if he does not count with one or both of them he should not say anything until end of the season.

I can’t see Toyota wanting to rely on Rovanpera next year for manufacturers points. My guess would be the lineup stays the same with Rovanpera in a 4th car. Katsuta to continue in R5 plus a handful of events in the WRCar.

I can't seem them relying on Rovanpera for manu points either, but I can totally see them switching one of Latvala/Meeke for a reliable points scorer, with Evans being the most likely candidate.

[Rallyper]

Yeah. Could also be a swop between JML and Evans...
