    Why would he test on snow right now before season ends?

    WRC Testing

    Tänak did also a test last year with the new rear wing and updates although he was leaving

    So I’m with Pluto on this that it necessarily doesn’t mean he continues with them although I myself I’m sure he does

    So the car is tested with new upgrades...
    Don't you get that testing and development is part of their job until their contract expires

    ,,driver to go'' won't test car and see updates at the end of the year.

    that depends on a lot of things. i don't think there's any secret weapon at this time of development ( it's not like it's the first year and you can come up with big changes). sometimes you want to benefit from an experienced driver with your car, who can evaluate progress. no point in testing with people that never driven the car before. another reason is timing: what if they need to test something now to choose a direction? they cannot wait for a contract to expire (and there's not much on the market to use as a substitute, tanak can't test properly now -maybe some secret run, but testing is different-) so you test with the current drivers. and so on...

    i guess no testing this year for the new season like last year?

    or have teams still some days left?

    Hyundai and Toyota can of course test in Finland any time

    I know contracts are usually valid until end of the year, but has there been cases when a ,,leaving driver'' has tested new car before new year?
