If he wanted to do good results in WRC2 Greece was great opportunity on a style of rally where the Rally2 Fiesta likely is competetive ( was in Portugal anyway). Against probably best competition in WRC2 for rest of the year.
Therefore it has to be a WRC start (in Finland?). Only real question is with whom.

Sounds like its come to the crunch point and Suninen needs to find a way to prove (if) he deserves a 2022 WRC drive. The chances at M-Sport must've looked over with Breen or whoever now lined up.

Fourmaux continues in the car for the rest of the season, and Wilson says that Suninen wasn't going to continue for 2022

Not sure why Malcolm is reluctant to just announce Fourmaux is driving a full season in 22. Every man and his dog knows that's the case

Yeah, Malcolm probably wants to push for more external money, so he is actually happy if Fourmaux doesn't do very well during rest of the year
Also with no drivers to drive in WRC2 now it seems likely Gryazin will drive Fiesta for rest of the year.

Suninen screwed up big time this year. He only had to bring the car home in one piece and he kept flying off the road. He was probably told he's out for 2022 and decided for an early termination. His only hope is Toyota 3rd car if they don't bring back Lappi (or Ogier has another change of mind and goes full time again).

They had to do it now / couldn´t wait after Acropolis because
Entry to TBA Rally Finland closes next Tuesday and entries will be published next Friday (yes, next week)
New (sponsor) name of Rally Finland will be announced also next Tuesday
I´m sure Suninen will be entered to Finland with competitive car...
1+1 could be 2 this time. Name of rally and sponsor of Suninen = Same company, who knows!"quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

Can't wait to see Suninen (in a ,,competetive'' car) winning rally Finland by at least 30s gap..

Fourmaux's tyre choice seems like he is going for a good time on Amarante..
