At the moment Tänak is so involved with Hyundai, that it's hard to see him leaving in near future. Additionally for his driving skills, he is known good mechanic and brain to build and set up cars, he was hired to develop new cars.
Additionally he is involved in business level by providing service for R5 cars via Red-Grey with Markko Märtin.
... however bullet-proof it may sound here, it can be all gone and changed with just one political decision on higher level. Like it was with VW for example...

Well while on first look Hyundai seems like a better deal, both have pros and cons: Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

+ "secure" for 2 years, so he doesn't need to risk in 2021 and can learn rallies
+ they have WRC car, possible part in development of 2022 car
- might struggle with current I20, not sure new car is reliable (so he won't learn rallies)
- still needs to show some speed
Skoda(Toksport)
+ reliable car and guaranteed performance for at least first half of 2021 (before Hyundai comes), likely whole year
- has to show multiple good results to be hired at end of 2021

I was thankful because I expected Chris Ingram to drive with Toksport and get their full attention.

No there are many, as seen when we crowd-funded him. Originally Posted by 371
