I guess Lappis only hope and plan should be to wait out Neuvilles retirement or maybe( long shot i know) they will finally sack him, probably not when they win Manu championship, but i hope Toyota will dominate it and Ott(another long shot) or Kalle takes the Driver championship win, maybe the team then will understand and reconsider the years wasted for the guy. My full honest opinion and you dont have to agree, and im welcome to start a discussion with anyone who disagrees with me, that is what keeps this forum alive
