But then again, in Makinen's eyes is there a better, faster driver available? To help support Ott, genuinely fight for top results and continue help drive the team forward. There's not a lot of better options.
Ostberg - no
Breen - no not yet, he's stagnated a little but does still have potential.
Suninen - no, but like Breen he does have more potential. Will be easily snapped up from Msport when he starts fulfilling that potential anyway.
Evans - no
Sordo - no
Paddon- No, he's hasn't shown top pace for a long time now and can't drive on tarmac anyway.
Pontus - unknown in top class machinery, but does have potential.
Those are the options if Lappi goes, or they stupidly fast track Katsuta. So i can see why they'd go for Meeke especially as Makinen likes him and recognises his speed.
However losing Lappi would be bad management surely. They must be lowballing him with that contract offer because Lappi is settled there, knows the car, it's a Finnish team and one that has a big budget.

The question is how much of a difference this non hybrid makes in terms of the rental. Even if it is some 10 % cheaper (doubt it is as much) it does not solve the current WRC issues, at all.
