Meanwhile, British magazine Autosport revealed yesterday that axed Citroen driver Kris Meeke (pictured above) has signed a deal to drive a third Toyota Yaris WRC in 2019.
"Official news of Meeke's WRC return will follow the announcement of Esapekka Lappi's move from Toyota to Citroen, which is expected on October 18," David Evans wrote.
An Autosport source added: "Meeke's deal is done. We know he is coming to Finland [where Makinen's Toyota team is based]".
The story also revealed that Jari-Matti Latvala will re-sign for the Toyota squad, providing a formidable combination for their WRC rivals.
