    Well it's not Toyota. I took that pretty clearly that he was talking about helping Citroen, if they can do a deal for a number of rallies. Ofcourse Citroen won't pay him and run him for a full season in a 3rd car, but Mads can bring some budget/sponsors on top of any extra money Citroen could find.

    A season split between the C3 R5 and the wrc car would be good for both Mads and Citroen.

    Latvala said to Finnish media that he's not interested in a partial season, it's full season or nothing. Although, he said he's happy to come back to do Rally Sweden and Finland if he doesn't get anything else

    Ott said in his video blog today that the contract will be revealed any time soon now (i guess next week after the rally, remember Jouhki said the same timeline about Rovanperas contract).

    He also mentioned that its quite funny and interesting to read all the "quality" journalism out there, who have written the articles based on the rumours in forums and blogs

    Well even with the low ammount of points from the 2 other drivers they still have very good chance for manu title.

    So it is possible they can keep them, especially if they do well in Spain.

    That said next year it seems likely that the competition will be closer (Citroën has lot of upgrades on the line and Toyota is seemingly starting to feel the effects of smaller wing) and at this point there likely isn't a free driver that would say no to Toyota.

    If true, JML will have his full season. Maybe less paid, but still...

    so after 3 months of fafing around, conspiracy, theory and wild guess, basically next year's line-upS remains the same
    Not sure what we will discuss between Australia and Monte Carlo. The wait will be long.

    We always have M-Sport and the debate about who they will run next season. And that probably won't be revealed before the Monte entry list gets published so there's plenty to talk about.

    On the eve of a crucial event where he needs his drivers to perform he's not likely to say any different, is he?
