Silly Season 2019

[er88]

I said a while ago on here Meeke had been in discussions with Toyota, Hyundai too. Makinen clearly likes him so ofcourse he's an option if Lappi surprisingly leaves.

However I still don't see it happening unless Citroen have genuinely doubled or tripled Lappi's salary. Otherwise why else would he leave Toyota to join the red army??

I also still think it was bad call for Citroen to ax Meeke - despite somewhat understanding it. An Ogier, Meeke and Breen/Ostberg line-up is really strong and in Kris, Ogier would have someone else in the team able to mix it at the front on rallies next year. This season it's been clear Seb has suffered without Evans and Suninen taking big points off his title rivals - like Tanak did last season. Seb and Kris get along well too, with Meeke almost pushing for Seb to come into the team as soon as he left VW.

But if Citroen have the money to get Lappi AND Seb, then they'll certainly have a very strong driver line-up next season.

Meeke in Toyota would be interesting. Historically he performs well when not under pressure. In Toyota he clearly wouldn't be number 1, then again there would be the pressure from his teammate(s) being faster than him. So it could go either way. Quite a risky pick.

And of course it's worth a front cover story

Very lucky man if this comes off!

Evans is not well liked. But you have to say...it looks like Makinen quotes are real.

Mäkinen is also a master of talking much but not saying anything. You could ask him about any driver and he will say "it's a possibility he will be a part of our team but we need to wait and see".

Probably more chance of seeing a young Japanese driver in a wrc toyota yaris for a round or two than meeke next year.

Can malcolm rebuild yazeed's heat treated fiesta?

I think we can already just talk directly about Katsuta.

What is there to rebuild? Only thing left is a steel carcass and that also gets pretty weak in a fire.
