    Wasn't the Kenya "order" an ask to drivers to maintain position? With Ogier leading and Rovanperä second.

    The last public team order from Toyota is to Rovanperä in Monza two years ago when he was told to bring team points when Ogier and Evans were fighting for WDC.

    Ogiers last thoughts in the end are interesting and making me suspicious.

    Would you fellas be fine with WRC having one or two "rally sprints" on the calendar? For the sake of better promotion and to try "different" stuff?

    Nothing really interesting said in the article. Except I was left thinking why he wrote it and especially mentioning Tänak more than others…

    Still can't understand why Kella want to leave .

    What do this sentence mean " but the fact that the headquarters of his current team, Toyota, is in his city, Jyvaskyla, in addition to the close ties with the Japanese brand that took him to the top, could be an impediment to change."

    Kalle probably will stay, but for moving the only reason would be money. Think in the other perspective, Kalle is a soon to be 2x world champion and is still in his early twenties. Why not make the switch if you are offered a significant amount more money.

    He could drive with Hyundai for two seasons and earn more millions than in Toyota. After this he still would young and the world would still be open.

    Kalle to Hyundai would be even more stupid than Tänak to Hyundai in 2020, but Ogier to Hyundai sounds like a real possibility. He doesn't want to be the 2nd driver in Toyota (even if doing part season), but dominating Thierry in a new team while also getting wins with yet another manufacturer, for possibly more money, sounds like a reasonable deal in my opinion.
