    Suninen to Toyota? The fact that he's managed by Jouhki who has deep ties with TGR makes this all the more reasonable. Should Toyota snag either Evans or Suninen or both, there will be a gap to fill at M-Sport and why not Paddon?
    Erm Kalle....

    Suninen is at Msport next year.

    Surely it makes sense for Paddon to do New Zealand... I like Adamo, but to me that'd be a no brainer...

    I imagine what we'll actually see is Breen doing GB, as I can see neither Loeb or Sordo being keen to do it.

    Hyundai - Neuville, Tanak, Loeb/Sordo. Breen will maybe do Finland and GB + R5 development & WRC2.

    Toyota - Meeke, Evans, Rovanpera. Katsuta in 4th car for most events.

    Citroen - Ogier, Lappi & maybe Ostberg doing selected events. Another R5 campaign for the rest.

    Msport - Suninen, Greensmith + anyone who will drive for free/ bring budget.

    Out - Latvala (bar maybe a 1 off appearance).

    In a worrying position - Mikkelsen and Paddon ( although you'd wonder why Malcolm wouldn't give either a drive to replace Evans).

    Better to have some slow crash prone rich father kid and stick with him full seasons like 3 or more years. Evans and Tanak was dropped immediately while some others don't. I mean Suninen and Greensmith. They are nowhere

    At M sport they would be glad to welcome Jari Matti I think, to replace Evans
    Latvalla 1st driver, whit some extra funds from Jari himself
    Suninen 2nd driver, another "investment" year
    3th driver could be Andreas, whit his own funds, partial program.
    Greensmith wil also drive for them, but I don't think it will be for the whole championship.

    He didn’t answer because the question was pretty stupid…he’ll be there to figth for WDC, not to babysit Lappi.

    Btw, many are still seeing Mikkelsen at Hyundai next year but isn’t he already out? Otherwise, why did he missed Australia and left Even?

    It's definitely not what it says... "SC: You contract has been renewed for one more year, does that mean that after the next year you retire?"

    Read it again.
