Sort of. This is on instagram:

Now, who do you think it is? I’m all in on Andreas Bakkerud. Answer comes tomorrow.

Lewis. Obviously.

My list in hopeful people:

1) Foust

2) Raikkonen

3) Clarkson

Would be awesome, but surprising as he just signed a new two-year contract with VW Andretti.. I doubt that he can run both GRC and WorldRX, especially with two different makes.

Clarkson.

Ah, didn’t know that. I don’t follow Rally as much as I’d like. I just know Faust and Block run in the same circles.

It has to be Bakkerud, Foust is in deep with Andretti (in a good way), Solberg & Ekstrom run their own successful teams, and I don’t think Loeb would be moving to a Ford after being so entrenched with Peugeot as of late.

Aside from Novikov (who IIRC is still running WRC?) the others don’t make any sense being in a Rallycross car.

Tanner Foust for the win, obvi.

Solberg has already said in an interview that he was asked by Block to join his team, but denied. Ekström won’t leave Audi, and Loeb is sponsored by Red Bull and has just joined Peugeot. Kimi is still under contract with Ferrari, so is Hamilton with MB. Logano doesn’t make sense, neither does Clarkson.

Then you are left with Novikov and Bakkerud. Novikov hasn’t done any rallying since 2013, and him to reappear now would be very strange (but cool!). Bakkerud has the third best average of the drivers to enter all WorldRX rounds, and been top 5 overall both years. He’s also said that he has to consider his options in front of this new season. Such a deal would also mean that Bakkerud can afford more testing than with Olsbergs, something that he has wanted for years.

Yeah, I think Lewis has become frustrated with the lack of success he’s been facing since his switch to Mercedes. A switch for him only makes sense, really.

Even bigger reason it won’t be Tanner: Energy drinks.

Logano, of course.
