    What? I think it’s just to pressure Toyota for bigger salary and bonuses

    But if they are serious then even bigger chance for Tänak to Toyota

    I think this is just Jouhki's way to get the price up. Can not see any logic on reason for the move.

    edit1: the only logic could be - if Toyota plans to leave.

    edit2: based on that - next year in Hyndai - Rovanperä, Lappi and Suninen and no finns in Finnish-lead team Toyota?

    Yeah, me too.

    It would be ridicolous.

    He won't drop places for Neuville eighter.

    However a swap Kalle vs. Ott would be great for the WRC in all.

    Of course it's a way to get the salary higher, either way. Just normal.

    How are conspiracy theorists going to fit these two things together?

    How would this be better for WRC? I can't see any logic behind this. Good thing for WRC was that Ford now has a top driver compared to last year but if you change one really good driver to another, I can't see any benefit in this.

    Maybe its the first sign that Hyundai/new teamleader don't belive Neuville can be world champion?

    But if that's the case, that means Neuville is not the "boss" who decides what happens in the team, that the propaganda conspiracy theorists suggest... I can't believe it, shocking!

    Very probably Kalle will remain in Toyota, but if I were Neuville I'd rather have him in Hyundai. Why would I want the fastest driver to drive the best car and be unbeatable?
