Before or during Rally Australia, not after it
He say that for about 3 months before every rally. In joke I could say he will wait a little more just before entry for rally Monte-Carlo will close.
Sordo has had 12 seasons in a top-line WRC drive now - and a number of those years in the best car/team.
He can have no complaints and has had a good career. You can see he's accepting of the situation.
Really none of that applies to Paddon. So with that said I'm way more interested to see what happens with him next season
Sorry, but these new cars are ugly as shit. Sure it's spectacular but some people prefer as much as road going version with super strong power.

Jouhki saying Suninen is offered 6 WRC rallies for 2018, but they're trying to get more. He also says that if Ogier does not continue at M-Sport, he believes Suninen would get a full season seat.
As I wrote numerous times before I think it's too early for a full season (with the related pressure to perform).
That said Jouhki has pushed trough drivers early before, but for example for Hirvonen it cost him 1 year off and hard-fought way back (2005).
Worth it to take this deal I think - especially if they can pick rallies which suit Teemu a bit more. And reccy the rest.
Lots of contracts are up at the end of 2018 season so with a few more good results he is in the #1 position to get a deal. Or as we saw this year, if some team manager gets itchy then he can be snapped up mid-season.
