    I sure hope Hyundai is happy for not choosing Kruuda.

    Jouhki has nothing to do with Huttunen.

    One would imagine it's nowhere near easy.

    Pure speculation.
    Kalle already signed a deal with Hyundai for 2020 onwards so they are fine leaving Huttunen for others. Tommi has said that he is interested in Kalle but now that he would not be available he wants the 2nd best option (which i dont think huttunen is) for them.

    To be honest I don't believe Huttunen is going to Toyota or that Kalle already has a wrc deal but that explains why Wuorela would know anything (jouhki relationship) and why hyundai could leave Huttunen.

    Jesus Eddy, Ogier is a pro; he needs to be loyal during the contract, not for the rest of his life. Like it was already said he continued for one more year, and looking at the results and the way he managed to bring back MSport to the top it seems it's the team that mostly has been profiting from this relationship.

    Btw, many have been criticizing Evans, but honestly what has Breen achieved more than him during this season? Maybe Ogier is also asking Citroen for stronger team mates, as he knows Breen and Ostberg can hardly help him to fight for the title.

    Breen has showed a bit more speed (7 vs 4 stage wins), been out on 2 occasions and is doing his second full season, whereas Evans ended his last season with a win and was hyped to be right up there this year. Other than that, both have had much bad luck and are quite humble.

    Once again, I don't even remember how many times this has happened this year, Tommi Mäkinen tries to cool down the rumors

    https://www.rallit.fi/tommi-makinen-...jaa-ruotsissa/

    He jokes about driving Monte Carlo himself and Grönholm in Sweden.

    He says they don't know yet whether they want to have an experienced or a young developing driver in case Lappi is out of the team.

    Breen is actually not doing full season. Missed Mexico and Corsica due to Loeb driving.

    Patience.
    Kalle did win WRC2 Australia 2017. (he was only competitor)

    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.
