Avec Kris Meeke, Jari-Matti Latvala est la principale victime du grand chamboulement opéré par Tommi Mäkinen au sein du Toyota Gazoo Racing pour 2020.

By recruiting Sébastien Ogier, Elfyn Evans and Kalle Rovanperä, the four-time world champion cut short the programs of Latvala and Meeke, Latvala having been part of the Toyota adventure since the return of the brand in 2017.
