I also have a Kimi 2009 esque feeling from all this Bottas rallystuff. Would be interesting to see how he goes but I feel it would be hobbylevel more. I just can't see a way in how he could compete at all on rally. There are so many full-time rallydrivers these days on wrc too. I hope he stays in F1 and wins the wdc there. But let's see, I have a bad feeling about this.

Hyundai WRT have incredible pressure to secure a championship.
It seems they have a mandate from the home office and so they have to try everything to achieve this.
IMO what they are doing is not the best way to build a strong cohesive team.
Waiting until just a couple weeks before an event to announce a driver lineup does not project quiet confidence but no one on the outside knows the whole story.
Maybe these decisions are out of the team's hands and are being made at the big HQ, maybe there is some PR strategy and the decisions are actually made well in advance but only announced just before hand.
I don't think it would make sense for Toyota to follow Hyundai in this strategy as Toyota have a different problem to overcome than Hyundai in order to secure the championship. Rotating drivers during the season wouldn't do anything to help them.Last edited by OHL; 15th August 2019 at 08:17.

Makinen's comments refer to the current season. I was talking about next season and the prospects of other driver's (like Ostberg) getting some drives.
