    So far Mäkinen have been against team-orders, I wonder, what happens with those principles when Ogier lands in Toyota

    Ogier and Evans would be a dream for Toyota and absolutely the best they could make of this situation. Just days ago Hyundai was looking unbeatable. Now it looks like there will be a real battle royale coming up next season. A loss of a manufacturer would be a major loss for the series however.

    I think Lappi to Hyundai will be a possibility if Citroen leaves as well. He could cover the spots Sordo and Loeb leave open (Finland, Sweden, Turkey, GB) amazingly. I would certainly choose Lappi over Breen and Mikkelsen, particularly for these rallies. Next season will have less tarmac than ever and many new gravel events such as Japan, Kenya, NZ. I would even go as far to say that I would expect Lappi to produce better results than Sordo and Loeb in many rallies.

    Oh, some things have changed then, but the point still stands. Lots and lots of gravel events, many of them fast and few tarmac events.

    If Citroen leaves Lappi will be a free agent. Adamo has stated he's still in talks with Breen and Mikkelsen. As you know Breen was brought in this season to do rallies, which Sordo and Loeb flat out refused to do. With Tänak and Neuville manning cars #1 and #2 and Sordo and Loeb refusing to do fast gravel rallies, that still leaves a car #3 to be manned in some rallies, which is a problem that Adamo has acknowledged already. I'm sure Japan was a gravel rally last time I checked, but apparently that has changed indeed. My bad.

    It's funny if you rewind the clock 12 months ago, Citroen were on the back of a win in Spain with Loeb at the helm....and now 12 months later we are saying goodbye to them for the final time for the foreseeable future...
    Only you know your true potential.

    They designed a turd on wheels.
    They lived in denial.
    They have only themselves to blame.
