"Toyota team principal Tommi Mäkinen denied the deal was done yet, but admitted "the time was coming" to think about next season's driver line-up"
How do you go from this to front-page "lands deal" is beyond me.

The questions is. Who will suffer? Meeke or Latvala. Both are on edge - Meeke with his age and Latvala with his underperform.

Not commenting the TGR driver choices but age question in general. Is there some proof that when you pass 40 your performance drops in motorsports because of that? I doubt since even in physically most demanding fields like IndyCar has many top drivers close to 45 and they are not even talking about performance drop or future retirement because of the age. Some IndyCar drivers might have become better when they got older.

Estonian media quotes the article quoting Jouhki and paints an image as if it was his decision. Apparently there were offers from both M-Sport as well from Hyundai, but Jouhki thought that local Finnish crew would be best for Kalle.
Article also mentions that Kalle has already tested Toyota, was this announced before and I just missed that?

Very good choice by Toyota.
Rovanpera is a real talent and there are not a lot of young promising drivers with his speed and experience out there.
