He's now trying to say the criticism of Neuville was all a bit of fun !

Sébastien Ogier @SebOgier

Well, I guess I got a bit of Karma in the end ! Part of the game 🤷*♂️

It was a fun week at Acropolis Rally, I gave my all to recover as much as possible after our misfortune on Friday but it didn’t pay off this time…

I ...Toyota may well be his only option.

Sorry but this won't ever happen. So lets move on from that theory.

I wouldn't exclude the possibility of a Toyota/Tanak link up. Hyundai are all but quitting after 2025, so Ott may be shopping around if he wants to continue in WRC. It's doubtful Ford and RB will cover his paycheck again, so Toyota may well be his only option.

If only a 4th manufacturer would come into the fray…sorry did I say 4th? Force of habit.

why not? nobody saw his move coming 2 years ago when he suddenly announced after Rally Spain that he leaves Hyunda and later that year joined M-sport.

Issue doesn’t sound about Tanak willing to come back to Toyota.
Sounds more to be that, as long as Kalle is on Toyota side, they won’t hire Tanak to avoid a remake of Ogier-Loeb 2011 Citroën stint.
Only hope would be Rovanpera leaving by end 2026 or not being able to come back to regular Championship level (with less mistake than this season) in 2025

Kalle's multi-year contract ends in 2026 right ?

How is all this cristal-ball fantasy related to the thread topic?

The conversation just continued due to Toyota's poor performance in Greece. So why not.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yes, and I think it's stupid. Keep in mind I never rated Evans all that highly, but he is one of a few guys who can(!) win rallies on merit.

Just because he isn't super fast all the time, or makes the odd mistake, he's not a spent force yet.

Actually he wasn't far from the championship lead not long ago and had to deal with TGR leaving him standing in the rain alone.
That is likely demotivating as hell and 90% of a drivers performance is in their head.

Evans still not comfortable in the Yaris Rally1 after all this time...
