Mads Østbergs current co-driver has chosen to take a brake to get more time with family and get a more normal life.

So Østberg is in the market for a new Co-Driver; Who are available, that hold a decent WRC standard level ?

There are plenty of top co drivers available, depends whether Mats wants an English speaking co driver or one who speaks his language.

Nope, Unnerud has already quit, according to a Norwegian rally page, it will probably be Veronica Engan (regular codriver for Bernt Kollevold) that will codrive on Sardegna - as a "one shot".

She is also Mads girlfriend, hopefully she doesn't do any huge mistakes that creates trouble at home. :)

Pretty cute aswell, as seen here:

Mads Ostberg comfirm Veronica Engan

"Mads girlfriend, Veronica Engan, will therefore do her debut in WRC in Rally Sardina, as a temporary solution. “We are happy to be in this family situation” team director Morten Østberg says with a smile. “At the age of 24 Veronica is one of Norway’s best co-drivers, with many years national experience at top level, and 4 PWRC rallies in addition to that. She has the qualities to be a permanent solution, but due to their relation we all regard that as a not so good idea. But it is very inspiring for all of us to have her in this role for Sardinia. She allows us to do a careful search for a permanent solution, and secure the possibilities to perform well in this rally, that Mads really likes” he continues."
