Silly Season 2019

Couple of things - Toyota thanked Lappi for everything as he left while Citroen didn't mention a word about this year's drivers. Although admittedly it is easier for Toyota knowing Lappi has been announced elsewhere.

Also no mention of contract length for anyone that I could see?

Two-year contract for Lappi.

In Motorsport News today there are quotes from Penasse at Hyundai all but confirming that Sordo will be back for a shared programme.

Looks like the lack of a calendar until last week has slowed down talks with Paddon, as they didn't know which rounds were on the table to split.

Malcolm Wilson also saying they are focused on this year's title fight and to not expect any announcements from them any time soon.

This is a marketing move from toyota because from a riving perspective meeke has nothing to offer.

Good video on Meekes Facebook page, where he explains his feeling with the Yaris, and how he feels connected to the road in it, a feeling he hasn't had for a long time.

yes very intetesting. Lappi going from that to the c3..

Yes, good q&a a couple of posts down too, says he hadn't been enjoying rallying for the last 18 months, and a rather telling line about Japanese culture of respect and honour that he finds refreshing!

Also on meekes facebook video he casually drops "who wouldve thought that Ött Tänak, Jari-Matti Latvala and Kris Meeke would all be in the same team"

Not that we dont know it but Latvala is still delaying the news.

Yes Latvala announced in the tgr press release along with Meeke.
I did note that comment in the vid though, tells us that Kris knows they are all drivers that have a similar all out style.
