Silly Season 2026

[giu canbera]

Pajari's year has not been what I expected. Sure, - easy for me to say that from my couch, but I havent felt any glimpse of those "sparks" I (and some of us probably) were expecting. Thoughts?

Another clue from Tanak about the future ?

Commenting on the Hyundai car:

"It’s the way it is at the moment and between Central Europe and this one it’s been difficult to do much difference as we have no testing and difficult to prepare only with the shakedown. But it’s more about next year, to be ready for next year.”

Let’s just wait for the official Toyota announcement on Monday and then all is clear.

He says so many different things to different journalists

That's just Ott being Ott, plays everyone always have always will, the mischievous in him, class.

There has never, ever been any kind of credible sign that Tanak is really going to Toyota.

For sure Toyota don't want him, and haven't tried to hire him because he is a poor team mate / team player.

Even the Hyundai team / staff don't really want him around because of the way he treats people, and they still resent him for throwing away the manufacturers championship last year, and cost them all their winning bonus.....

But he's the best option for Hyundai compared to others.

It's just that Tanak will have to accept a pay-cut because he has nowhere else to go and no leverage to negotiate.
