If we are doing a bit of analysis of the teams I would say Toyota looks good they lose Lappi but Ogier is doing more rounds than last year and Evans looked finally better in Japan. On the other hand Hyundai ticked some interesting boxes:
- knowledge of both Yaris and Puma
- two drivers good on tarmac and slow gravel
- two drivers good on fast gravel
- only Neuville is clear title favourite
Of course losing Tanak is a big blow but the lineup has some logic. For the manufacturers title it's similar to how they won in 2019, for the drivers title they are going all in on Neuville but if he gets a good year he can be in the fight.
I am well aware of the current regulations, thank you. You stated that they were stupid, so I was asking what you would replace them with.
