J-M Latvala is a Toyota works driver from the season 2017 and he scored some wins for them. But now his seat is under big pressure because young Finn Kalle Rovanpera signed for a team for the next season which means that someone from the team will have to go.

I can't see that championship leader Ott Tanak will leave unless he will have an offer he can't refuse so that means that one of the drivers from Meeke and Latvala will have to go.

Kris Meeke currently has 20 points more then Latvala and if it will go that way, Latvala will have to go.

But now we have a manager stuff where Tommi Makinen, as Toyota WRC boss is a Finn, same as Latvala. And also Timo Jouhki, managers of both of this guys, Latvala and Makinen (Makinen when he was active) will have a fingers in this. THAT'S WHY I HATE A MANAGER JOB IN WRC - you can't buy a seat to some rich son. Full stop.

If Latvala will be booted from Toyota, he will for sure find a place in one of the teams, and probably M-Sport, if no one will be interested in him.

For now, he is testing in Finland and preparing for the next rally.
