Result is what matters. 3 podiums, 4 terrible rallies and a bunch of mediocre rallies can hardly be described as a successful season.
It reminds me the Estonian football commentators who described our womens squad 0:7 loss to Netherlands as a "graceful game" and "good effort, with nothing to be embarrased about".

I don't care, as long as it is something. I come home every evening to read the latest on this silliest of seasons - let's see if it can go on for more than 100 pages! Actually, it's almost as exciting as a WRC round. Forget Ott's movie, someone make a mini-series (working title, Days of Ott's Lives) about this...lol.

They called Mäkinen and asked about the claims about Tänak not being in good terms with TGR leaders. Mäkinen bursts in laughter and says "that's a funny claim"

Of course he wants to go. I bet he regret every hair he have on his head that he leave M-Sport for Citroen. And best option for decent amount of money he is eager to get is Toyota and they are in big trouble now without a decent driver. He will be in Toyota despite their intense relationship lately. I mean how fragile could be if Tanak basically won two titles for them and Citroen don't won any. It's better to have fast and sometimes breakable car (still could climb places after super rally rule) than unpredictably bad handling C3 who is hard to change.
If this frenchie would still be in M-Sport maybe Tanak couldn't won the title or it would be all down to finale in Australia.

Let’s face it, there’s only a handful of journos covering the WRC on a permanent basis and among them Evans is the only doing it for a global motorsport press group, making him the perfect messenger if anyone inside the WRC wants to discretlly turn public a private matter.
Actually, this scoop timing makes one wonder about Evans sources purposes; it was released Friday afternoon, when Ogier was no longer a threat to Tanak but Hyundai drivers were starting to feel Toyota rivals pressure, affecting Toyota’s morale for the rest of the rally.Rally addict since 1982
