Silly Season 2020

[mknight]

Who is this Mia?

Mia Mäkinen wife of Tommi, formerly working for BMW Finland. Finnish people will have details.

Mia Mäkinen wife of Tommi, formerly working for BMW Finland. Finnish people will have details.

I'm not sure are they married, but a couple they are. And her name is Mia Miettinen. She is also the vice CEO of Tommi Mäkinen Racing.

Who is this Mia?

The former CEO of BMW Finland, currently some kind of EVP of Tommi Mäkinen Racing Oy and a board member of Tommi Mäkinen Racing Oü.

It's no secret they're a couple. For example when Finland celebrated 100 years of independence in December 2017, they were together in a party organized by the Finnish president: https://www.is.fi/linnanjuhlat/art-2000005480289.html

The last one is mainly because of differences (Mia sacking everyone who doesn't like the way TGRWRC is operating) or because of the salary (Tommi pays average Finnish wage to most of the mechanics (unless you are his close friend) and is not willing to raise their salary even after all the success they have had).

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know if the TGR mechanics and other staff are employees of Tommi Mäkinen Racing Oy or Oü?

OÜ has 65 employees, in II Quarter the number was 33 so i think he is moving them from OY to OÜ right now

Anyone know more about this? Maybe Ogier and...

Tänak?

EDIT: Obviously Østberg will be withdrawn now, but still you can think of the conflict of interest with Tänak driving against his future employer

Correct me if I am wrong. (Estonia people should now)

TGR (or TMR if you want) Estonia and MMM (Markko Märtin Motorsport) are in same location (same address)

Who owns that place ? Markko and Ott or Tommi and Mia ? (TMR Estonia is 50% owned by Tommi and Mia owns 50% also, and that´s big problem)

If Ott goes off from TGR, I just can´t see MMM and TGR/TMR working together...

TGR Finland and Estonia units are not working well together, carbon and other spareparts worth over 2Million € are missing from Estonia unit...
