    Looks like he's going to be competing in an M Sport Focus next year according to this:-

    hey guys, i dont know if its the right place to ask this but what is the relationship between Mikkelsen, Ostberg and Even Group? Its a bit odd not seeing them teaming up together. There is also Tidemand, Veiby and other young drivers(Solbergs?) which can make a good Project and it would be interesting to see them working together.
    Im sorry for my bad English, cheers.

    Mikkelsen is part of Even Management. Same with Veiby Jr, Lappi and Tidemand.
    No relationship with Østberg, apart from both being Norwegians.
    Adapta is the team of the Østberg family.

    Lets see what the future brings.

    Comments from Andreas after the last stage on Korsika.

    "It's been a great weekend for us. We had a good gap and it was about maintaining that. I hope to be back in a WRC car soon! Things are looking better on that front and I hope to be back soon. Something is going on for sure.

    Maybe a good idea to get the co driver right first

    I can't see him not driving until Finland.
    My guess is Hanninen steping down.

    Hanninen is going to do the full year; he is the reference to how the car is progressing. I'm afraid Mikkelsen might have to spend a year in WRC2 or WRC Trophy. Not ideal but not a tragedy in any case, look at Ogier.

    Can't see why it would be. EVEN would have to remove their own guy (Lappi) from the car. And if that was going to happen they should have done it already before the season.

    Honestly sometimes you play musical chairs and you are left without a seat.

    I think his only hope of a manufacturer drive this year is if a certain Frenchman continues to under perform. However, how likely is it that a French team would drop their only French driver. Even if it is for a clearly much more accomplished driver?
