There are other factors as well. Toyota top management in Japan (alleged to favor JML over Lappi), the chemistry between Mäkinen and Jouhki/Veiby, and who knows what else. I think it's pretty clear we don't know the whole story as 1) Lappi has publicly stated he would like to remain at TGR and 2) contract has been confirmed to be given to Lappi to sign. And yet he seems to be heading to Citroen. For money - sure, but more than likely there's something else as well.
