It would take WW3 breaking out to stop Toyota winning both titles next year.

Nah, it just takes better reliability and replacing a crash prone driver.

I think if Hyundai improves reliability (big if), they can fight for the manufacturer title. Neuville would have been clearly ahead of Evans with similar reliability this year, Tanak will be up there as well, so...
For the drivers title, beating Kalle is another story though.

It's tough to improve reliability when you are already the (equal) best funded WRC team out there.
Unlike M-Sport, Hyundai have had no excuse for years for their poor reliability. I wouldnt bet a single penny on this changing next season.

Ogier is making a big difference this year. He has taken 2 wins away from rovanpera and 1 from Neuville.

I just listened to the WRC Backstories podcast with Mikkelsen.
Interesting to hear the reason he struggled to drive the i20 WRC was due to his driving style which he said he learned from Ogier (who learned it from Loeb). He couldn't trail-brake into corners, only in a straight line, and didnt want to change his style.
I wonder what the current i20 Rally1 would be like and if it's the same (as its still for Neuville) ? If so it could mean Mikkelsen would struggle there again if he ever got a chance.

That's the problem with all of this. It's all "he said that she said that somebody in the next street heard that ......" We're relying on sports journo's with no technical background relaying...
