But can't think he would have made the statement without dad's approval as they don't need to create hostages to fortune.
regarding Paddon: canīt find the link, but Raimund Baumschlager said in an interview before Jänner rallye that Haydon want to do again WRC2 in an BRR Skoda, but was still looking for sponsors... Baumschlager is also very unhappy with the national Lavanttal rallye date, because itīs on same weekend with portugal, and his Skodas are already rented for portugal.
I know Baumschlager rate Paddon very high, so I think the chances for Haydon in an BRR-Skoda under Red Bull banners are quite high.
For which crew?Quote:

Well, for all the people talking about Paddon and Tanak, just remember to look at Mikko Hirvonen's early career path - a dismal year with Ford, getting cut from the team, a pretty cruddy year with Subaru after that, cut again, a privateer year in which he got one podium and resigned with Ford... it's a slow process to the top level for some!
Not to imply that I think Tanak is quite WRC level at the moment. He's not bad but I did feel his SWRC championship was a a result of several wins in which multiple fast drivers retired and he didn't.
I do kind of think Paddon probably is WRC level, though. He is young but one of the most calm and professional drivers of any age I've seen - and I've mentioned somewhere before, he wins 60+ percent of any stages he runs... that's unheard of outside the L-word. If he's not getting some privateer WRC/WRC-2 rounds he should be getting some phone calls from ERC teams...
Fixed that for you ;)Quote:

Now now, the sport's big enough for both Kubica and Kovalainen. I am interested in Kubica more though as somebody was saying he's one of the top RBR players in Poland!?Quote:
