2022 WRC News & Rumours

[mknight]

Yes, totally hope for MSport. Sure Hyundai will definitely be weaker (though maybe they get Evans), but even weaker they should still be thereabouts. MSport was mostly absent for 4 years now.

So in a estonian podcast there was an intrrview with Toomas Järveoja, and from that interview you can read out pretty clearly that Ott and Martin will be driving an hyundai next season.

This lasted long. Lol

Like user Cali said, you can never believe what Ott says about his future

So at Japan Toyota will announce the lost son is coming back?

Care to share some information?

Noone considers that Ott might end his career after this season, which is highly possible im afraid.

I think he would have said it already in the press release today

wtf bombshell to end the week..

As much as I hope him to continue.. such awkwardly timed announcement seems other way..

He is talking about «*new challenge*» and «*something new*» which does not sound like a retirement (even if technically, Toyota or M-Sport are not new for him).
And to break a clause, normally, there is a financial counterpart (as Ogier in 2019) and I don’t think Tanak would have take a decision like this (by bypassing Hyundai communication) without some financial support; I think communication would have been different for a retirement (but it’s only my view).
Or a new category but sounds doubtful considering his background.

More time with his family next year and some selected rallies with Msport would be my guess.
