Toyota WRC boss Latvala says several drivers have been in contact with the Japanese squad regarding seats for the 2023 season.
Toyota is yet to announce its driver line-up for next year, although it has been widely expected that the Japanese marque will field an unchanged roster next year.
“It [the driver announcement] needs to be end of the year but unfortunately there are some contractual things that are still open, so I don’t have updates at this point,” said Latvala. Jari-Matti Latvala, Team principal Toyota Gazoo Racing, Sebastien Ogier, Benjamin Veillas, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT Toyota GR Yaris Rally1, Kalle Rovanpera, Jonne Halttunen, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT Toyota GR Yaris Rally1Ogier will contest six rallies this year in his partial programme which the Frenchman is keen to continue in 2023.
“But I have said if we win all the titles with the current driver line-up then I would say is there a point to change anything? “First of all we do the proposal from TGR [Toyota Gazoo Racing] World Rally Team to Japan TMC [Toyota Motor Corporation] and we have a good influence on this on which drivers we would like to have, but of course the final confirmation needs to come from TMC.”
