About Tanak: just think - he did not participate in MM series bcs of money, he is not talking to est media bcs of money, and then, out of nowhere he refuses biggest check in rally world to "to be with family".... you do not have to be Pink Panther level detective to understand that there is "a plan" and the "plan" was on the move already before Hyundai departure announcement. He is way too fast still to give up on shot on another title.

What is the plan, hard to say, but we can speculate. I would guess smth like this: Toyota deal for 2027, a deal with any of new Tuners or he would become a Tuner him self. Last one i would not bet on - he still wants to drive.
