I would blame this part combined with the VW exit getting known after all drivers had signed.
Even if you don't like Mikkelsen you have to admit he is among the top 6 drivers with best results for last 2 years (Ogier, Latvala, Tanak, Neuville, Meeke are the others). There are 12 factory seats now. Out of these 6 "other" drivers surely there will always be some that don't perform on a few rallies.
I dare say that if Latvala ended without a drive in 2017 it would be him jumping in and replacing drivers in very much the same way.
