I think this is just Jouhki's way to get the price up. Can not see any logic on reason for the move.
edit1: the only logic could be - if Toyota plans to leave.
edit2: based on that - next year in Hyndai - Rovanperä, Lappi and Suninen and no finns in Finnish-lead team Toyota?Last edited by meh; 5th June 2023 at 10:44.

However a swap Kalle vs. Ott would be great for the WRC in all.

Of course it's a way to get the salary higher, either way. Just normal.

But if that's the case, that means Neuville is not the "boss" who decides what happens in the team, that the propaganda conspiracy theorists suggest... I can't believe it, shocking!
Very probably Kalle will remain in Toyota, but if I were Neuville I'd rather have him in Hyundai. Why would I want the fastest driver to drive the best car and be unbeatable?

Maybe Abiteboul agreed to put all in for Neuville this year and if it doesn't pay off, then there will be changes. He comes from F1 and tactics are different there.
It's Neuville's and Hyundai's 10th year in team/wrc and they have only managed to win 2 manu titles, which isn't clearly enough..

A Chinese brand in rallying would be highly unlikely. The Chinese Auto-industry is in a consolidation phase, probably with lean operations & no room for luxuries like motorsport. ...
