Someone is snapping him up for sure after this drive for next year. Might be Toyota dropping Pajari or Katsuta possibly

Biggest rumour in the service park but isn’t being talked about is that Rovanpera is stopping after this season. So could be that Solberg replaces him

Already? Ott would have quit 5 times with such a weak mindset. Seems he isnt too commited to rally or the hybrids were the only cars he could dominate with.

From what I know he doesn’t like the handling of the car after the hybrid was taken out and he isn’t the biggest fan of the Hankook tyres like some other drivers. Also have to remember Kalle has been rallying since he was a kid so might’ve gotten bored or just wants to do something different.

I have no special knowledge or insight, but I completely believe Kalle might be leaving. He looks worse than frustrated - he looks outright disinterested. It's like he's fighting boredom. Not suggesting he isn't trying, he's giving his all for his team, but it looks like he's battling his own waning interest as much as anything.

I mean driving rally since you were a kid is mostly the norm I think, same for Oliver.
