[WRC] News & rumours (part IV) 2016

[BigWorm]

Tanak is in WRC since 2012, Evans - 2014

I think their mileages in a WRC car are pretty close to eachother. The second season was meant for Evans to unleash his best driving, if he did so it was nothing impressive. Tänak did just that in his first season in 2012 and he set a lot more better times in comparison.

Tanak was in a world rally car in 2012, but came back back to it only in 2015.

yes but had also 2014, most of them in second league, but still the same rallies, mostly.

Better times, but no results anyway. Tanak is fast, Evans is consistent, and fast on some occasions.

Seems Neuville got an offer with Lots of money and promise to be number 1 driver at Hyundai I think. I hope he didn't make the wrong choice like Loix and Duval..

Evans still unsure about 2017 - http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/octob...3--12-12-.html

He'd be unlucky not to get back into a WRC car I think but I can't see him ending up anywhere but M-Sport/Dmack.

If I had to guess I'd peg him to replace Tanak at Dmack. With Ott going back up to the 'factory' team.

Quite possibly, but I wonder whether Camilli's contract guarantees him a 'drive in a M-Sport World Rally Car" or a 'drive in the main M-Sport factory team'

IMO Malcolm would be better off putting Evans back in the main team and Camilli in at DMack.

I wonder, which drivers he is referring to that he's "a lot" faster. I see only Camilli and Hanninen, Mads future is also uncertain. I don't see him a lot faster than Hyundai boys either VW. Last year he was really mediocre on gravel events. In pace wise, i would have expected more from a guy having factory seat for 2nd year. Only consistency was his strong point and also tarmac rounds.

He probably means Camilli, Ostberg, Abbring (and maybe Bertelli, Al Qassimi, Prokop if we are talking about pay drivers too)

[pantealex]

Last week you all were sure that Hänninen and Lappi will drive full season with Yaris...
This week Neuville stays in Hyundai...
Next week M-Sport drivers ???

Don´t believe everything that "outsiders" write !!!

I´m pretty sure that there are surprises coming

Yeah I was wondering about exactly the scenario you mention. It depends how much of the decision is Malcolm's - and how much is Dick Cormack's. Mr Dmack might not want Camilli in the car. Okay M-Sport are running their car but they are paying customers. They might want their own guy in the car - whether that is an Evans or maybe Tidemand/Suninen etc.

Suninen probably to M-sport with Jouhki money. Same as Latvala and Hirvonen before

[Simmi]

Well Jouhki met with Wilson in Corsica. And I think also in Germany (with the Kalle Rovanpera entourage).
