Lappi has to be a shoe-in for MSport surely? They need a driver capable of leading the team and Suninen is not yet, and maybe never will be, capable of that.
Latvala has said no, Meeke seems unlikely, Mikkelssen looks like he staying involved with Hyundai and I personally don't quite consider the likes of Breen, Paddon or Ostberg to have quite the immediate potential of Lappi.

I agree, I would pick Lappi. He has a couple of seasons under his belt, and experience of 2 other cars. He is also fast, just needs to be a bit more consistent, which hopefully comes with more experience.

I believe that Wilson already hinted, that they will continue with developing fast youngsters. Lappi fits the description the best...

Atleast he's fast (slow drivers don't win rallies, do they?) and relatively young. Originally Posted by wrc2017

Lappi isnt quite a 'youngster to be developed' - he has done that in the last two seasons.
As its taking a while to announce him at M-Sport the deal could be quite tricky... who needs who more ?

There's a fine line between "not ready for WRC" and "already developed". Out of the previous WRC drivers without a seat, Lappi is the youngest/least-experienced. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

My guess is on Lappi for the M sport seat. Originally Posted by dck1989

Regarding Monte, could there be Alpine's at the start?

I think we need to wait until the commercial deal gets done and what the vision of the series after that is before we all get bent out shape. I think whatever happens 2027 is going to be stop gap...
