Look a little bit farther than your teardrops. There are at least 3 very good drivers who are not compeating in wrc full season(Breen,Ostberg and Paddon) - who are all showed some very good pace.(Breen with hyndai this year and with r5 cars all over the ireland, Ostberg last year finland with this non-drivable citruen and paddon had a pretty good half season last year). Fact is that Msport isnt non-profit organisatsion and you need to pay(or your sponsors) that seat.

Sordo's comments about going to Toyota
"I don't know anything about that...I just read about it in a Spanish magazine. One of those Spanish journalists wrote that thing, I bought him a good dinner for that"
"Give me 10 million and I'll move to Finland"

Very open interview with Malcolm Wilson there..., seemed quite chirpy and upbeat. Confirmed Tanak and Martin where in the Msport tent today and talks ongoing. Trying hard to get budget in place and thinks Tanak will want to get something sorted by start if October.

I'm wondering if Tanak comes back to M-Sport, then who's gonna be number 1 in Toyota?

That's the million dollar question... without him Toyota seems toothless when it comes to title fight and only drivers that have not proved they can charge for title are available (Latvala, Meeke, Mikkelsen, Evans, Suninen). Out of these they already have 2 in the team and it doesn't seem to work.
which makes you wonder if they would ever let him leave....
but sure they could "wait out" a year or two hoping Rovanpera (or someone else, like Suninen) develops.

From the interview with Wilson I picket up "we have business relations together", which is true with Markko Märtin Motorsport.
But taking the "business relationship" out of that context - I wonder, does Wilson have win-win situation here? May he have some percentage of Tänak's salary because he have been investing in him earlier years? (To be clear - those are just my questions, not facts).
Not sure if posted here before, Evan's test prior to Croatia with footage of the Rally1 Yaris in 2025-spec... https://youtu.be/ALLO7rds-yI?si=FRdZ5LDkRZcxMPOV
