Lappi responds to Citroen rumors.
The most important quotes:
I won't be unemployed next year, even if it turns out that I'm not getting a contract from Toyota.
We have pretty good situation at Toyota. It's a winning car and it's easy to be in a Finnish team. I don't have any huge interest to leave Toyota, but at the moment I don't have a contract for next season. Let's wait.
By the end of next month I should know (about next year). That leaves enough time to prepare for next year and possible changes - if such are to happen.Last edited by Allez Andruet; 22nd August 2018 at 18:36.

Well if Toyota don't give him contract at the table already then they are pretty much stupid. I bet it's Latvala who kiss their asses all the time... And if they will not be interested in him then he don't have other choices.

I'm not sure whether it's better to be No.3 driver in a better team than possibly No.1 driver in a worse one, tough choice.

Indeed.
Lappi is the most promising of the "new" drivers (including Paddon). Latvala hard to say, last year I though he was back but this year he made lots of mistakes even when he didn't have technical issues and was typically the slowest Toyota.
It is likely that Lappi's current contract wasn't very good (he was unproven), so he has all the reasons to try to get a better deal.

"Autosport understands the Tour of Corisca was the prime candidate, but speculation has now suggested the French island event could remain next season, possibly at the expense of Rally Germany."
What was wrong with Germany?
