Latvala and Jouhki pondering JML's season and his future in WRC. Latvala admits hitting the low point in Corsica, where he was "lacking motivation" (I just hate to see that excuse being used by a full-time rally driver). JML says that the tight fight in manu championship is what brings him motivation at the moment. Regarding next season, Jouhki says that it's "impossible to know what the Japanese think at the moment", but admits Latvala must start delivering results from Finland onwards.
For me all these things combined don't sound like a receipe for success for Latvala. Hopefully he proves me wrong in Finland.ku ois neljä pyörää ku vetäis ni ois vähän eri sekunnit kyllä pätkillä, sen mä takaan

Last year he had a very good second half from Finland onwards, maybe this time too.
but i personally think if he underperforms in Finland, then maybe its goodbye for him.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

In the absolute rally podcast last week he sounded like a broken man (well he does that like every 2 months..). Saying how he could have fought for drivers championship in 2014 if he didn't crash in Germany and how he enjoys historic rallies much more cause on normal rallies there is so much pressure and competition.
He really needs a podium in Finland (just like Meeke does). However with Toyota's known Finland advantage it should be possible even with less than perfect driving. Technical issues are not likely there and it's not that often people crash, no big stones or something like that either.
That said there can always be surprises from other teams. Last year nobody really expected Østberg to be that fast in C3. Similarly nobody expected Fiestas to be so fast on Corsica this year.

If Citroen gets 3rd car they will want a stable points scorer, Evans or even Østberg sound more likely, or Mikkelsen if he wants to go that way.
Basically same for Hyundai except Østberg is not likely there.
