Tommi says, that the buzz (about Zotos leaving) has been totally overdramatized and shouldn't even been mentioned about in magazines like Autosport. According to Tommi, it was a joint decision that Zotos would leave - mainly due to the fact, that Zotos didn't want to travel that much (well, according to Tommi atleast). In addition to all that, Tommi says that Zotos still is his good friend that he has absolutely no clue where all the talk about them being unable to work together has arised in the first place.
Ofcourse he said a lot of other things as well, but that's pretty much the Zotos part :)
...and about the Mikko Hirvonen interview that was in Finnish:
He actually didn't say that hadn't spoke with Tommi. He said that he hadn't spoke with Tommi in details about when and how much he'd be involved in testing - if any. But clearly he's been in some talks with him.
Mikko also ruled out any possibility of returning to WRC, even for single rallies. He said that it would require so much work (regarding pacenotes and everything) that he's no longer intrested, but instead wants to spend time with his family. Testing every now and then is possible, but not competing.
Has Makinen said anything about a R5 Yaris, and if yes when are they planning to get that out for sale?

Strange article that one. But he does confirm what I said a few posts back, in that the lack of PR and information just leaves people to fill the void with rumours.
Tommi would certainly have a lot less journalists badgering him if this role was in place. And I completely agree with GravelBen's point.
