    Its Malcolm, probably personally, thats invested in Tanak, and im sure he is getting a split of his wages, so he is actually quite glad he is going to Toyota to get a return on his investment.
    The buyout would only exist if Tanak was breaking a contract early. I dont believe this to be the case.

    I wouldn't have thought so as Finland and Estonia are quite close geographically and culturally, and Mäkinen already has links to Estonia where the TGR Fiestas are run from i believe?

    They should be professionals and it does not matter if the driver is Finnish or some other.

    Yeah, like native English speakers Lauri Riipinen and Jarmo Lehtinen.

    Rumour about Sordo replacing Tänak in M-Sport.

    Ogier, Sordo and Evans/Suninen sounds good?

    That sounds really strange to me tbh..

    - Can't see Malcolm paying Sordo anything (since he refuses to pay just about anyone).
    - Can't see Sordo driving for free/no money either now towards the end of his career (no he's probably not going to end soon, but probably within 2-3 years).

    - So the only option is some rich sponsors paying him... who would that be?
