    Probably in 2026 Pajari and Solberg will swap seats from rally to rally. And if Pajari keeps underpeforming, Solberg will get the seat at the middle of the season.

    But seen from a Japanese perspective. Toyota Japan are the ones who get contracts organised and not the Finns. I can say that Katsuta's contract wasn't even done during the start of the final event last year IN Japan! Same with the other drivers...

    Is he underperforming or he has to slow down to let his Toyota buddies finish above him to score bigger points?
    We have seen this season in many rallies Pajari and even Katsuta slowing down to let Evans and Rovanpera score more points, especially on sunday.

    But we never saw Ogier do that, right? Such a team player. No matter if he is placed high in championship standings. He is ''not'' (according to his words) going after the title.

    Toyota still needs ogier to secure the title, so the only change might be Pajari with solberg.
    I suspect that Pajari has at least a 2y contract. The way he has been driving just to gain experience and not trying to fight indicates that he has a secure future

    Millener talking up Evans' performance despite losing the WRC lead. Maybe he sees a possibility of a return to where he's still highly-rated...

    ...and yet Evans is no longer sponsored by Red Bull, so, who will pay him?

    Kalle can't confirm whether he will compete a full season in the World Rally Championship next year.

    Malcolm would, as he has with his the other elite drivers he's had. Plus EE shouldn't be too expensive after he's earned well for years at Toyota.
