Come on guys. Tänak is going to Australia and he's going to be fighting for the win. In one of the post-Catalunya interview someone said to him you won 6 rallies this season. He responded - so far... Toyota will most likely offer generous bonuses for both the rally win and the manufacturer's title. What's in it for him if he sabotages his team for Hyundai?

As usual, I think the reason for Tänaks leavingi probably lies somewhere in between what everyone here and in the media has talked about.
I can totally see Mäkinen not having balls enough to say to his other drivers to back off, not to chase Ott in the brginning of the year (cost Toyota and Ott a lot of points)
Toyota still seems kinda unreliable.
But I just think Ott & Tommi coulfn't get along because probably Tommi said yes to each driver when asked, if they can drive for the win.
He isn't the kind of leader that Malcolm id.
And Adamo is.
They get things done and that's it.
This is my two cents anyway on the matter.
Ott&Martin are champions, this matters the most.
Hope to see some news soon and get some closure

I mean in the way that they didn't take points away from Ogier and Neuville
Meeke in portugal
Finland 1-2-3 for example
Bad choice of words in my part

Meeke/Latvala crashed out of many races in the first half of the season chasing their personal ambitions, in the process gifting many points to Neuville, Ogier and the Hyundais. I think at some point there was a statistic that something like over half of Meeke's WDC points were from power stages (after crashing on the first or second day).

Funny comment, as "letting others" profit (and taking his part) has been his mode of operation for quite a while. Tanak being latest example.
Also doesn't fit the way they were talking up Evan's value around July.
Final note is that this was written on 5/9 which is before all this Tanak crazyness.

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a 'shakedown' of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. I don't know if its because the 2nd Yaris hasn't arrived yet at...
British & Irish Championships...
