[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

[EstWRC]

Wouldn't surprise me at all, they want to take points away from Ogier.

Instead of Paddon?

Maybe thats what they mean with "writes og the season"?

Would be a good move of Hyundai, just hoping Neuville doesn't overdrive the car (like he did in Germany I think). Mikkelsen would have a good starting position.

Conjecture at this point - but if Hayden did give up his seat I'd hope Hyundai would at least get him an R5 to keep his eye in and retain his knowledge of the stages. Missing an event doesn't help anyone.

4th car for Mikkelsen? Near the end of the season so they may have a spare chassis available for it.

[Myrvold]

Not saying it always works, but for example Mikkelsen focused quite a lot on tarmac when he was 17-18 and now he is able to fight in the top on tarmac. Think JML also did some tarmac at that age.

Ye, I remember I had a 6 hour karting session with Andreas and Ola back in the days he was competing in the Focus. My only claim to fame is that I was faster than both

[KKS]

I think that Hyundai didn't allow Mikkelsen to drive their car at event without contract for 2018. Did he got one? - No, so.... it's not gonna be true

[Andre Oliveira]

Maybe Hyundai will give him the contract and he choose Hyundai instead the joke Citroën.

Not surprising really...hope for better fortunes for him next year.

Isn't this just Autosport making up a story? Hayden has been saying for probably the last 3-4 rounds that his chances for 2017 are over! I feel Autosport are just running out of material and creativity?

I think they call it a slow news week.
