True, they have a deal but not contract yet, no names in papers. Originally Posted by stefanvv

Lappi to Citroen is like 2 levels more risky than Tänak to Toyota (which turned out surprisingly well).
By this time last year Tänak established he can win on both surfaces and was beating Ogier in same car.
While I agree Lappi looks speedwise as the 4th fastest driver this season he only has a si gle win and one more podium.
IMO one year too early to move for him.

if someone is leaving Toyota, it has to be Latvala. Don`t think Tommi will let Lappi go.
Seond possibility for me, is Ogier to Citroen and Latvala "back to home" like Hirvonen did few years ago

Wherever Latvala goes, he needs to be the fastest guy in the team. When he is challenged from within, the frailties (Self doubt) appear. When he is not, we see the best of him.

But if he will let Latvala go it would have to be for a replacement that at least possibly can be better? Who should that be that is available? Or are Toyota pushing in the Japanese guy? Originally Posted by eib1

Ogier or Neuville to Toyota is worst thing could happen regarding championship
Those three has to be in different teams
my thoughts only because of rumour that someone is leaving Toyota, don`t think there is anybody better to replace Latvala
too early for Japanese guys...Last edited by eib1; 17th August 2018 at 20:47.

Maybe they traded Latvala for Suninen? Lappi can bring solid points so it wouldn't affect manu battle too much, especially given Latvalas form and trend so far in Toyota. Originally Posted by mknight
