Come on Lundefauret, that’s not a rumor, that’s a joke…

Anyone can believe that Makinen would prefer to spend 2 or 3 millions of Toy’s budget on his team development than on a top driver salary, bur if he can get Latvala or Mikkelsen almost for free (considering VW’s likely compensations) there’s no way he wouldn’t take them, even if the car turns out to be a crap (which I don’t believe).
