For me it's this logic that just kills any thought that Tanak could go to M-Sport.

I don't think it's far-fetched to imagine a scenario where Mr Toyoda, as President of the sixth-largest company in the world by revenue, the world's largest automotive manufacturer, gets on a plane and flies to Estonia to personally ask Tanak to stay with Toyota. I can also imagine that James Hackett, President and CEO of Ford, has no idea who Tanak is...

On the basis of current cars and team performance alone, you can make an argument for him moving to M-Sport. But looking at the bigger picture, it'd be ridiculous for him to leave, even if M-Sport could get major backing from a big sponsor like Monster Energy.
