and Paddon have huge support from Hyundai New Zealand and other sponsors...
I (one)bet that Østberg is frustrated with his season. Change of co-driver, change of team, skipped events, lots of technical problems where the M-Sport cars didn't have any. If he's offered a seat at M-Sport I don't think he will think twice. The downside of this is that it would take a WRC seat off some newcomer. Or maybe he could take his personal sponsor money to M-Sport for a four-car team? Probably also depends on Ogier's decision...
Thats why he could benefit from DMack. Seems to be great for learning consistency and preserving but fast driving (as he already showed quite promising speed on his two outings). Would be nice to see Tidemand as well though.
