Didn't Sordo say if he wasn't competitive he would retire? Shouldn't someone be asking him if he feels competitive? I wonder if perhaps his plan was to retire on a high, after doing well at Germany this year? Of course, this is all conjecture.

As for Sunninen, he performed well on one rally, although got incredibly lucky to not DNF on the last day. I am not sure that's enough for a factory seat? Especially when you follow it up with such a poor performance at Germany? Maybe he might get lucky and get a Dmack seat, but unless he has a lot of money behind him (does he?) surely he won't get a main seat anywhere?
