TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[mknight]

Rovanpera could enter the final time control (in service after PS) 1 min late and get 10s penalty, extremely easy to do.

After Neuville loudly compared at end of 2018, Hyundai was doing various team order on just about every second rally last year, starting with position switch and no PS push allowed in Sweden.

However, I agree that here there were lots of things around that did no make it an easy choice. If I am a bit harsh I would say that already now Tommi secretly values long-term nursing of Rovanpera over Ogier who is likely gone at the end of the year while Rovanpera is part of his (and Jouhkis) long term plan. Doesn't look like he is particularly fond of Ogier anyway, specially with the "offer" at end of 2016 and the whole process around it.

EDIT: Corrected early/late
