[WRC] Ardeca Ypres Rally 2022

latvala as well thinking tanak is exaggerating on the issue...

italian media rumors:
toyota to decide between tanak and lappi for the next season. the un-choosen going to m-sport.

A little bit unbelievable if they are deciding between the 2019 champ, 2nd best driver at the current season so far, that guy who can squeeze everything out of the machinery and Lappi, who is a likeable chap, but average if you compare him with Tänak. Just funny

And the leftover goes to M-Sport (which Lappi has denied and for him it's TGR or nothing)

It's only possible if Hyundai pulls out of WRC which isn't really surprise if they did. Then the driver pack is really mixed and I feel sorry for Breen because he will definitely be out of a job in that case.

Wait, if Tänak leaves Hyundai, who'll replace him there?

But if HMSG pulls out of WRC? No need to replace the drivers then...

Toyota does not need Tänak

Well it's game over for every other team then and it will be massive fight with Kalle and that will be the only single interesting thing in the WRC if that move goes through. The series would be dead for manufacturers.

yeah, but assume (even if improbable) tanak is pissed with hiunday after the adamo's departurte and want to change.

you are toyota and the choice is:
- take a former champion and have an internal fight with kalle
- stay with lappi and a clear first driver.

both have downsides.

I really hope they don’t or else it really will be just ridiculous.

Do they include Hyundai pulling out?

Remember that all three teams signed a commitment to stay and compete for three years when hybrid rules were introduced in 2021 (https://www.wrc.com/en/news/2021/wrc...rid-agreement/).

Where does this come from? The only Italian rally media I know is silent...
