Well it's not Toyota. I took that pretty clearly that he was talking about helping Citroen, if they can do a deal for a number of rallies. Ofcourse Citroen won't pay him and run him for a full season in a 3rd car, but Mads can bring some budget/sponsors on top of any extra money Citroen could find.
A season split between the C3 R5 and the wrc car would be good for both Mads and Citroen.

Latvala said to Finnish media that he's not interested in a partial season, it's full season or nothing. Although, he said he's happy to come back to do Rally Sweden and Finland if he doesn't get anything else

Ott said in his video blog today that the contract will be revealed any time soon now (i guess next week after the rally, remember Jouhki said the same timeline about Rovanperas contract).
He also mentioned that its quite funny and interesting to read all the "quality" journalism out there, who have written the articles based on the rumours in forums and blogs

Well even with the low ammount of points from the 2 other drivers they still have very good chance for manu title.
So it is possible they can keep them, especially if they do well in Spain.
That said next year it seems likely that the competition will be closer (Citroën has lot of upgrades on the line and Toyota is seemingly starting to feel the effects of smaller wing) and at this point there likely isn't a free driver that would say no to Toyota.

so after 3 months of fafing around, conspiracy, theory and wild guess, basically next year's line-upS remains the same

Not sure what we will discuss between Australia and Monte Carlo. The wait will be long.

I hope if we have rain it stays light enough that the race can continue without delays except for safety cars or actual incidents. I understand the cars throw a lot of spray but it seems like...
