Unlike Evans though I don't think his tie up with Red Bull preceded the Ogier/Red Bull era at M-Sport?

Looks like Suninen is really after giving his sponsors coverage and gratitude. Probably hoping they can help him do more rounds. No other drivers have done a press conference ahead of the WRC launch.

It's a common practice for drivers managed by Timo Jouhki to hold their own press conferences before the start of the season.

Btw, Suninen will drive full season, so no additional rounds needed

Of course, I was thinking of Tidemand.

@TeemuSuninenRac
Our season launch in Helsinki today was a success. Lots of domestic media present, so it was exciting to show my partners for WRC season 2019 and tell about my feelings going to my first full season with a WRC car. https://t.co/nzT8HHVeNX

Very happy that @iLOQ_Group is continuing to support my rally career. Both parties are aiming high - that is one of the combining factors between us. https://t.co/fwUnFR4ULB

Teemu did not write this. Teemu does not do ‘excited’ or ‘happy’

I wish him a better 2019 though, probably the biggest disappointment of 2018.

I'm sure he does. He just doesnt show it in the way others do. Like Breen for instance, where a stage is either the greatest or the worst he's ever done.

Plus I think Evans with all his experience was more disappointing.

So this means they couldn't come up with a worse super special than the two previous ones and decided to use a proper stage instead. *claps hands*

- at least one European #WRC round to be dropped or 2020
- Most likely Japan/Kenya comes in
- Other European countries such as Croatia and Poland are interested also in hosting a round

Anyone else noticed Abu-Dhabi on the Citroen? what's going on there?
