Why do you think he was kept in the dark? It`s not like he would go public with the news first...and/or ruin the TGR success story...
If you look at Mäkinen's statements since the Hyundai announcement it's clear he was in the dark. He literally said there is no plan B for Toyota at the moment. His attitude changed completely from Wales to Catalunya.
Me thinks there's better chance to see Tanak building a RedGrey WRC27 then even driving a RedGrey WRC27 over driving for anybody else.
Maybe odd events but can't see Rovanpera doing full seasons...
