Well it's all assuming he is let go.by Toyota and there's no space at Hyundai.

Then it's a seat in a Rally1 Car and he brings a lot of experience and knowledge from Toyota which could help to develop the Puma.

Because he's the FIA Deputy President for Sport. Apathy is not a good look.

So they listened to us and put a tarmac round in the middle of the season. Swapping Japan and Sardinia

Nothing improved. Why we have 4 tarmac events in the first 7 rounds? It is 6 gravel rounds to end the championship.. They should have kept one for the second half of the season

Probably caused too many logistical challenges with Kenya, Chile, Paraguay and Japan.

Perhaps they realised it’s too hard to have Chile,Paraguay, Japan & Saudi Arabia at the end…and I’m sure Canaries wouldn’t nudge to move to October…
