Silly Season 2020

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?

Mikkelsen missed Australia because Hyundai was looking at a huge battle with Toyota and Adamo decided Breen's starting position would have been ideal to attack on Friday, while Mikkelsen's starting position at fourth on the road would have been less than ideal. Adamo just said he is in contact with both Breen and Mikkelsen. He will definitely need a third driver for rallies like Sweden, Finland and GB where Sordo and Loeb are pretty much guaranteed to back out.

Other than the paragraph..

You talked about the fact that after next year your plan has always been to retire, when you see out your contract.

So, in best case (most equal teams whit the free seats available )
Hyundai Tanak, Neuville, Loeb, Sordo, Breen
Citroën, Ogier, Lappi, Ostberg
Toyota Evans, Meeke, Rovanpera, Katsuta
Msport Latvalla, Suninen, Mikkelsen, Greensmith

I'd say a Toyota team like this has 0 chance for any championship and would likely not pass Japanese approval. 2 years ago it would have, but now that they won manu last year and got close to nothing this year (since Tänaks team change stole all PR they could get.) they imo will not be wanting to wait, 2+ years for Kalle to develop.
Any of Mikkelsen, Suninen and Latvala is better that putting Kalle as manu nominated car. Both for the team and for Kalle himself.

Off course it's very hard to say what Wilson might offer to anyone. But as we talked about earlier he should be interested in having at least one experienced driver onboard, at minimum so that the youngsters have someone to compare with.

t16...?

I did, you're right. I thought I should re-check again and..

I am genuinely, sincerely sorry.

I checked a few times today when I challenged you and failed to look past the section I thought you had mis quoted.

No excuse and I will lick my woulds for a bit, I'm sure.

Hope I didn't offend and once again, I am sorry.

Mäkinen asked directly if Evans visited their hq.

– Ei siitä… Ei kyllä… Tietysti spekulaatiota on monenmoista. Me mennään eteenpäin ja katsotaan, kuinka hommelit etenevät

- Not about that....no yes....of course there are many kinds of speculations. We go forwards and see how things progress.

I can so imagine that with Tommi's voice

Mäkinen asked directly if Evans visited their hq.

16-word answer to a simple "yes/no" question. I'm not sure which requires more skills, that or winning four World titles. Could be a draw.
