I will try quite specific predictions and not necessarily believable, let's see if I get even one correct
1. Neuville and Toyota champions
2. Ogier will win 2 rounds
3. Sordo will be on the podium in the last event of his season/career
4. M-Sport will be 3rd in the Manufacturer championship and win one round
5. Mikkelsen will drive a Puma for one or more rounds, not obtaining podiums

[Sulland]

1. Evans WC Drivers
2. Toyota WC Manufacurers
3. Ford will win a rally or more with Breen
4. Solberg on the podium in at least one rally.
5. Rally3 will surprize, and grow with 2 more manufacturers ready for 2023.

1. One or more Rally1 will catch fire due to hybrid system (luckily no injuries)
2. Oliver Solberg to get his first podium
3. Craig Breen to get his first win
4. Dani Sordo to retire by the end of the season (actually i haven't checked if he had intend that already, so if it is an obvious one then disregard this point)
5. Something serious will happen at Hyundai (either manufacturer world champ or quit WRC)

Yes. Although we have seen before that rallying people change their minds about retiring...

[ouvreur]

2022 then...

1. A surprising candidate (from outside rallying at least) will be named TP / take on a senior role at Hyundai.
2. Oliver Solberg will finish on the podium at least once.
3. Sebastien Loeb's latest comeback won't be more than three events (including Monte), with no podium finishes.
4. At least two drivers will change co-driver during the year.
5. Yohan Rossel will win the WRC2 championship outright.
