Time for big changes for the WRC, with the coming weeks which will be crucial to defining the 2025 seasonand with two of the teams also involved in the World Championship, Hyundai e Toyotawhich are expected to undergo major changes e they could show up at the start of next season with two different “commanders”. on the command bridge.
The Alzenau team is at a fundamental moment of the season, with the Drivers’ World Championship now assured, it will be a question between Neuville and Tanak in Japan, the possibility of taking full spoils by also winning the Constructors’ title and with the future which should see the Korean company involved with a new program in the WEC. As Cyril Abiteboul, President of Hyundai Motorsport as well as Main Team of the team involved in the World Rally Championship, he believes he must concentrate fully on the new project. Also for this reason he had already skipped the trip to Chile, in order to be in South Korea and meet with Hyundai to define all the details of the Korean company’s new adventure in motorsport.
Ma he team that will compete in the WRC will necessarily need guidance, at least for 2025in what could be its last official season. (this is ours previous article). After examining several possible candidates, to date the favorite for the team management seems to be a familiar face, the Spaniard Dani Sordo.

Even in Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team there is an air of change: Jari-Matti Latvala, after 4 seasons and 6 world titles won, three for the Drivers and the same number for the Manufacturers, he would be about to conclude his adventure as Team Principal. (read also the previous article)
But Latvala’s farewell, unlike what could happen in Hyundai, would not disturb the waters too much, the former Finnish driver has always been supported by competent and trained figures such as And Lindstrom e Tom Fowler.
If all this is confirmed we could live a an even busier start to the 2025 season and with new unknownswith the alone M-Sport Ford led by a proven and knowledgeable Team Principal, Richard Millenere the two official houses managed by people who are certainly less experienced and experienced but who could however reserve pleasant surprises and “add spice” to a now “sleepy” World Cup.
