Well Paddon said it himself when asked to rate his season from 0 to 10 he gave it - points.
Also this article even paints more positive picture than reality:
- in Sardinia he crashed twice, with second one on last stage before Power Stage especially unnecessary
- in Poland he finished second only because all the drivers that were ahead either crashed out or had issues (Tanak, Latvala, Ogier)
- similar in Australia being slowest of the Hyundais all rally except 1 stage
The team (or some people in it) might like him as much as they want but in the end it's down to results if they don't come by the end of 2018 there might be some new candidates. But for 2018 I'd say he is safe to do those 7? rallies he now got promised.

Still Hyundai can let him drive R5 at least for rest of rallies, just to get the experience... Maybe he can be a real challenger in WRC2 too and without mandatory events it's easier if he score points in both categories

"Volkswagen is not expected to run a factory team with its new R5 car, but will provide customers with technical support." ...yeah, yeah, of course we believe them. (sarcasm alert) And that is the reason why Pontus Tidemand , most experienced young driver our of RC1 class was doing the test
