while we wait, some more fun reading...
"Former rally driver Marko Märtin, who still plays in the background Tänak, disagrees. In his view, Tänak is such a special kind of jockey that the teams have to bend to his will."
"The trick could even pay Tänak a spot on Toyota's next season's crew. Mäkinen will have three tough drivers for the next season without Even Tänak. Kalle Rovanperä is the hottest rookie of the series next season, while Kris Meek and Jari-Matti Latvala are experienced and still hungry victories. This trio is sure to fight for victory in every competition."

Latvala and Meeke on their best could easily challenge the Manu championship.
Them being able to do their best for a full season though, that's not as likely.

That was a bit rude
But yes, Jari Porttila is mainly famous for blaiming Norwegians for every single problem there is in The World as well as entering the field DURING a football match between Finland and Turkey (and being very upset when thrown off the field by the officials).

We do not know how much of it is true that Tänak talks directly to the Japanese... But if that is the case, then it seems to me that the gentleman is already behaving like a princess.

I think it's nice they join in, instead of just posting pointless PR releases.
Interesting things in the article:
- rumors that Wilson had a five year deal ready for Tanak. I somehow doubt that's true, but then again Wilson did talk about trying to secure "long term" future.
- when mentioning drivers that wait for Tänak's decision the list is: Breen, Latvala, Meeke, Mikkelsen..... no Evans?? (Suninen I can understand but Evans is less obvious). Off course this could be just innocent ommision.

Never believe a word Mäkinen says in public. Never.

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
