Why Tanak's 'head or heart' call will shape WRC 2020

By:

The man at the heart of the World Rally Championship driver market seemed to be closing in on a decision for 2020, but did the events of Rally Italy present niggling doubts?

Loquacious? Garrulous? Neither adjective is installed next to the words 'Ott' and 'Tanak' on a regular basis. But harbourside on a warm Sardinian Saturday evening, the Estonian was positively chatty.

Tanak talked freely about how things had turned around at Toyota and how things were really starting to fall into place. I even recall a mention of the words 'dream team'.
