    They will probably share 4th car, probably with Katsuta too, maybe sometimes 5th car would be on the grid.

    The ideal scenario would be, that the teams would "create" some sort of second teams, as they did in history, but back then I think they could only field two cars if I remember it right, so they bend the rules with satellite teams. That way they could put more cars on the grid, but M-Sport having only two cars because of their budget, that thing will never happen, at least with this cars. And Hyundai actualy never having 4 cars out there, I think they are really not into having more, it's just their mouths that are speaking.

    About Ogier retiring, I think he will do it, especialy after this year, when he is so frustrated over Neuville clinching the title, but sometimg keep telling me, he will continue the way he is doing it for years.

    It would not be the end of the world for Toyota if they paid for one of their young contenders to do a season in M-Sport WRC1 to gain experience while Ogier ages out. Just so long as they know they can get him back when they want to.

    I imagine there might be "competitiveness" rules against that, though.

    It seems Solberg will indeed drive a Toyota.

    But that's different to driving 'for' Toyota....

    Exciting news. And they seems quite natural.
    I can imagine Evans moving to MSport, giving space for Pajari stepping up. Ogier is either a longterm case, so a future Toyota team will be Kalle/Pajari/Oliver/Katsuta.
    Rossel and Evans will be perfect for Malcolm.
    Hyundai, well, no comment. Should be good.

    Elfyn to Ford is every year from 2022 the same theme and it never happened and IMO never will happen.
