I think Breen is a more naturally talented driver and has another step, whereas I just get the feeling Evans is on his limit.
    So, if we see Breen driving with his mouth open, can we assume he is close to flat out?

    Today's third driver for Toyota: Kris Meeke. Of course, according to David Evans...

    Tomorrow: Mäkinen to replace Lappi in effort to increase TMR's yearly profit
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    It would be interesting to see Kris and Jari-Matti to drive Toyota Certainly there might be a lot of accidents, but if Toyota is able to win Manufacturers title already this year also less pressure to win next year. If they are not able to drive well both of them will be out at the end of the season...

    Maybe. My point was the facial expressions of both drivers. You can tell a lot from people's facial expressions and body language. To me it just looks like Elfyn is on his limit, Breen looks more relaxed. Most naturally talented drivers look relaxed when driving, instead of a rabbit caught in the headlights.

    So much smoke and rumours now that it really does seem like Lappi is gone at Toyota. Regardless of what you think about Meeke, I think he'd benefit greatly from some better man management that hopefully Tommi or maybe even Malcolm could give him.

    It sells papers I guess.

    On a serious note though, I think he is a serious option but one of several. A long way to go still.

    What it says to me is that Lappi is now gone. In the web article, interesting to hear that he's been to visit the factory.

    you are right, hasn´t won against others, yet.

    He is factory driver in Skoda with 2+1 contract, so driving Skoda 2019 and possible 2020 also.
    The great thing with getting in at Skoda is you are driving what is currently the best R5 car, with full manufacturer support, an upgraded car spec coming soon which you can have a hand developing and plenty of testing mileage. There is no better platform for a young driver IMHO, he's be best to stick that contract out until the end of the deal.

    Grönholm comments that when the Huttunen rumor came out he was talking with the Hyundai people and had no idea about it
