Last year Jouhki heavily criticized Veiby both for Lappi and for Tidemand. So it just seems to be his style lately.

@Neuville in Jyvaskyla
That would confirmt two things:
a) Tanak is leaving for sure
b) Tommi/Toyota is desperate
I am not sure it's very likely he moves even if he gets a very good offer.

In hindsight, I presume that the delay in Ott being confirmed for Rally Estonia this year may have been part of these shenanigans?

That exchange would be awesome
Neuville leaves to still be a nr 1 and.. I think that team change would make a good difference for him. He has been in Hyundai for so long and sadly achieved nothing..

Neuville also complained all the time, how they could not compete with Toyotas. This way he would be able to show, how the Yaris drives itself to victory.

Doesn't Neuville already have a contract with Hyundai for the next season?

i do really wonder if that Neuville tweet was made with purpose to spice things up.
and the longer Hyundai waits with its announcement the crazier the stories go.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

Ofcourse that tweet from Thierry puts silly season to a whole new level, but maybe it could just be that Hyundai are testing upgrades in Finland for next season (like Citroen did), and maybe also using this opportunity to let Ott drive the car on roads it has historically struggled on vs the Yaris?
