Wouldn’t hold my breath for it, he might do an extra event this year but he said at the end of last year and the beginning of this one that he intends to spend more time with his family.

That's why he's ended his season - to spend more time with the family. I also suspect a third LMH Toyota isn't happening, and he's not quick enough for a seat in the two Toyota entries; so no point in carrying on.

Question now is, who will be their (Toyota’s) third driver for next year?

[1988senna]

it's ogier so I guess we don't need to treat his word as serious as other body. He had nothing to do in next year .I just feel even the Toyota also wish him to come back as the Evens maybe will lose the seat.
I think ogier is the only man can beat kalle in consistent .

How long is his contract?

Also, his two previous seasons were very good.

I believe you are wrong.

I think he's signed for Toyota until the end of 2023.

And who can replace him? He has had a bad season but no way Toyota lets him go.

WRC has four fulltime Tier1 drivers and Toyota has two of them. They would be in a serious disadvantage after doing that.

[Corcaíoch]

Even with a poor season so far Evans has shown plenty over the last few seasons to justify his position at Toyota. Even if Tanak or Neuville were to join (the only 2 better options in my opinion) there would be a strong argument to be made to keep Evans as fulltime 3rd driver.
