I'm not sure about Mikkelsen but I believe that Seb and Jari-Matti's contracts are up at the end of 2016. Honestly I think any driver is possible for Toyota if they are prepared to pay them and can convince them of a competitive programme. The second part shouldn't be too hard.

2017 Toyota drivers will be Eric Camilli and Teemu Suninen, but definitely they will need a nr1 Star Driver and there is only Ogier, Neuville and maybe Latvala that kind of kaliber.
Mikkelsen is not yet there. If he is not able to take one more step during this season I doubt he will ever achieve that kind of level.
Camilli will drive WRC2 during this year (also next year) and Suninen is aiming to drive WRC3 in 2015 and WRC2 in 2016. If they are able to win during these two seasons, it´s sure that in 2017 they are still learning...
VW & Ogier are keen to stay together. Would be good for Latvala to get rid of Ogier´s shadow and I think that if Hyundai´s new i20 WRC is not a real winning car, Neuville is ready to move on. He has a three-year contract (2014-2016), so it would be possibe to drive a Toyota in 2017...

A noob question: is a RRC faster than a r5, if yes why they compete together?

Sometimes RRC is faster, sometimes not, the main advantage is that RRC are much more reliable although also much more expensive. They compete together because there is very small number of RRC cars everywhere except WRC events and it makes no sense to keep them in separate class. The mistake was to replace S2000 homologations with RRC in 2011.

Will RRC continue to be allowed in WRC, or will it be banned at a certain point?
