If as rumored Tanak leaves Hyundai, then Mikkelsen no.2 to Neuville and Sordo/Suninen sharing the third car seems like a good plan.
I'm thinking exactly the same. What if Solberg was dropped because Tänak just decided to leave Hyundai? They know what Neuville delivers but Solberg still needs developing time. So to have any chance in manufactures, they need more experienced drivers.
I have not seen the full line up of drivers for the 2026 NZ Toyota single seater series. Starts next weekend.

IIRC, @KiwiWRCfan once said they were housemates. Not been able to verify that myself.
