Even if he retires, I’m still happy for this decision. It was wrong since the start and hasn’t worked both ways

The only thing weird for me is the timing of this press release.

Usually this are done afternoon during workdays

I was also thinking about timing but in a different way. What if they finally reached to an agreement with Toyota and they can now announce all the Toyota drivers for next year in Rally Japan.

I see we think alike a lot

So this way next year there will be a dream Toyota team and two other teams fighting for positions 4 to 8??

With the number 8 Toyota leading the way hopefully

Jari-Matti wanted to continue with the current winning team, but the decision will be made purely in Japan and it´s possible that Tänak wants desperately drive again Toyota. It could be that Mr. Toyoda is willing to see it again.

If Ogier is also driving full season next year there will be three Champions in the same team fighting for the title, but the WRC / Rally1 is dead, because it´s only Toyota GAZOO Racing series after that.

I think there is smth differnt in cooking . We all need to respec those bits of info discussed earlier this year re: family. Though, for me it would be very pity if Tanak would retire - he has some edge that makes the current wrc less boring. ( it is boring, i am sorry)

It's quite likely that Toyota will announce their lineup at rally Japan. So not long to wait to see if it includes Tanak and if Evans or Lappi are out. Was interesting that Neuville mentioned Andreas and Elfyn at the press conference after rally Spain. Let's see what happens.

WOW…
Looking forward to see who goes where now. Of course for the series it would be great to have Ott back at MSport as if he goes to Toyota it would be hard for any competition, although the battle inside the team would be good.

My gut feeling is a move to msport, partly with WRC in mind but partly because of their Dakar project. Lots to go at there for him
