I think the biggest problem with being in a Toyota is being in the same car as Kalle, inviting unwelcome comparisons between them when Oliver will still be trying to learn the rallies...
Surely there'll be less difference between a WRC 2021 and WRC 2022 than an R5/Rally2 and a 2022 WRC?

If true, Toyota might be jumping the gun a little on Solberg - but like Kalle - he's probably worth it (if they did sign him up from next season).
Could help run him in an R5 (Skoda/Ford/VW) for a lot of the events, test the current and new WRC car, drive a few rounds in the WRC car in 21 and then be in a place to take the 3rd driver role in the main team when Ogier retires.
You couldn't blame any of the teams trying to lock him down early on a long term contract, due to the massive potential he has. Shame Malcolm is more concerned with his racetrack rather than good drivers thesedays, as I feel Solberg growing & developing for a few years at Msport under Malcolm would be a slightly less pressurised environment for him, than in the Toyota main team next to Evans and particularly Kalle. Would rejuvenate the whole Msport team too, as currently they are sleepwalking.

Surely the answer is clear - Solberg will do WRC in a Toyota R5/Rally2 car!
Pass that one on to the "rumour mill".

So far it's just Dirtfish speculation, but for sure it's likely, I guess they can adopt how many events Sordo and Breen does "flexibly" trough the year. There is no clear candidate elsewhere either (Lappi?, Adamo clearly doesn't like Mikkelsen (based on preferring Breen for Australia last year, not to mention Sweden)).
Anyway again we get this:
Breen drove the factory World Rally Car twice this season, finishing sixth in Sweden
With only so few rounds trough the year one could hope those journalists that get paid for this either remember or bother to use 5s to check.
D. Evans has been doing these kind of "stupid" mistakes in every other article at least for last 2 years.

And Mikkelsen does not like the car, so no worries there.
