I think suninen is going to Toyota anyways. Isn't he still contracted with them?

With TMG yes, with TMR Gazoo officially no.

Suninen/Toyota is a very exciting prospect for the future. If that's where he's gone. Hopefully he can be the new Gronholm.

Okay. Soon it will be officially

Sordo carried on after that but clipped a tree with a rear wheel on SS20 and broke something.

I'm not super up on the regulations but maybe that 'engine' issue means they can fix something or run something new ahead of the next rally? Like we see in F1? There was nothing to gain for Sordo in the rally after he'd hit the tree.

I have no idea what is in f1. In wrc they have some (limited) options with the various parts, but which and how often I'm not familiar with. For sure they can make some changes if the time has come.
As for Sordo, the tree incident seems to happen before the other, so it is quite possible he damaged radiator or something.

As Teemu also mentioned we should be happy no one was killed in that rally. Seemed not to be any safety measures taken regarding to all jumps and the high speed. Compare to Finland. Just saying.
