What a bombshell. I totally believed Ott when he was saying he would stay in Hyundai.
Now, will it be Toyota, M-Sport or retirement? My bet is on Toyota, which means Evans would go, unless they plan to run Rovanpera-Tanak-Evans, which would be quite an overkill to the manufacturer championship. But I don't see that happening.

What a surprise, but everything is possible with Tänak! Hopefully it´s not Toyota, because it would be total domination next year and Hyundai would definetely withdraw, because they are not able to win anymore. Only good thing would be to see Kalle & Ott battle with the same car and that could be Ott´s aim, because he knew that it will never happen with Hyundai.

I wonder if it was decided during this weekend? As on Thursday he clearly said he will be driving Hyundai next year + multiple times saying that they need to get the car ready for next year.
And to be honest, as a fan of Ott, I'm relieved that he left. One more year hearing that he can't trust the car etc would have been devastating. Going to Toyota would be a dream come true, but if he'll drive a Ford, I'll be happy also. I think it is a good and drivable car + it will be a full circle in a way as he will probably end his career with Malcolm who gave him the possibility to develop and crash a car or two along the way.

Something had changed this morning, remember how he took the blame for not figuring out the car

Even if he retires, I’m still happy for this decision. It was wrong since the start and hasn’t worked both ways
The only thing weird for me is the timing of this press release.
