That's actually not what it says. 'When you see out your contract'... where did you get that bit from? He doesn't say anything about seeing out his contract, just responds to a question when the interviewer says it has been renewed.
edit: also note Ogier's response to the question about grooming Lappi.... He doesn't answer the question that was asked.

Latvala said he will do at least one rally next year if left without a seat

Toyota
#33 Evans
#5 Meeke
#10 Latvala
# Rovanpera (not doing a full season)
#17 Katsuta (not doing a full season)
Citroen
#9 Ogier
#4 Lappi
# Ostberg, #89 Mikkelsen (part time season if one of them gets chosen)
M-sport
#3 Suninen
#44 Greensmith
# 89 Mikkelsen, Ostberg (with m-sport they may do full season, depends on budget)#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

Hmmm, I seem to remember it being reported somewhere that a shared car isn't the prefered method, but it was successful for Hyundai in 2019. I wonder if Meeke and JML would agree to a system like that?
I can't see Kris agreeing, somehow, but food for thought.

I think TGR should take both Evans and Mikkelsen.
Breen, Paddon and maybe Østberg also are not bad choices either but those 2 have better "records" lately."quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

Mäkinen interview to rallit.fi: "I would like to see a Finn racing in our team"
Paddon to 1News: "It was probably my last WRC rally"
Suninen to Toyota? The fact that he's managed by Jouhki who has deep ties with TGR makes this all the more reasonable. Should Toyota snag either Evans or Suninen or both, there will be a gap to fill at M-Sport and why not Paddon?

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
