On top of Tommi stepping aside as Toyota GR team principle; can’t see who is taking over either which seems a bit strange at this short notice

Quite ironic that Sweden - the poster boy for measured policy on Covid - is losing its rally.

My only query about that would be he has absolutely no experience in managing anything, unless he is involved with the family business.

Experienced i WRC for sure, and you have to start somewhere, but he never struck me as a team manager type really. Maybe like Tomi it is just a figurehead position

Oliver Solberg with a 2 year Hyundai deal. Won’t be long before he’s in a WRC car.
