Obviously Katsuta is Japanese, but I really don't like Toyota placing him in Yaris more often. It's not his time yet.

They are not saying who will drive the i20....right before Australia.
Probably depends what championships are decided, but there is surely some deadline for entries.
Either case Neuville is unlikely. They'd probably want Loeb, but since he is so negative about traveling and time I doubt he wants to fly 20 hours to Japan. Sordo is imo most likely, also since he probably isn't doing Australia. For Mikkelsen there are way too many unknowns (will he drive tarmac in Germany or Spain (and will he do well?), is he going to stay with the team?).

In this Q&A Lappi gives the answers to alot of questions about Citroen aero updates etc. that have been discussed here.

Did not know Citroen had used all their jokers for new parts this year already? To wait until next year for new aero and other improvements is a huge blow for Lappi and Ogier (in his title fight).

If current plans stay the same Mikkelsen won't be doing Spain (Neuville, Sordo, Loeb). Only way he does it is if Hyundai decide to bring 4 cars for whatever reason (getting desperate in both championships etc). But then that has it's own issues as we've seen previously.
Presume Mikkelsen will be in Germany unless Adamo doesn't want him anywhere near the i20 on tarmac, and chucks Breen into the deep end (surely unlikely?)
