As usual, I think the reason for Tänaks leavingi probably lies somewhere in between what everyone here and in the media has talked about.
I can totally see Mäkinen not having balls enough to say to his other drivers to back off, not to chase Ott in the brginning of the year (cost Toyota and Ott a lot of points)
Toyota still seems kinda unreliable.

But I just think Ott & Tommi coulfn't get along because probably Tommi said yes to each driver when asked, if they can drive for the win.
He isn't the kind of leader that Malcolm id.
And Adamo is.

They get things done and that's it.

This is my two cents anyway on the matter.

Ott&Martin are champions, this matters the most.

Hope to see some news soon and get some closure
