It is Mikkelsen , if in doubt google can be your best friendQuote:

With Loeb to Hyundai (still somewhat unthinkable) it is, atleast, one driver to many in Hyundai.

Great work to uncover the story.
Hyundai now has to really put in some effort in development for 2019
I think Loeb will help the team with his testing/setup skills.Quote:

What else doesn’t make sense and I’ll try and clear it up? I think I make a good point here and there, to be honest.
One who thinks about one too highly, isn`t really clever.
Don't be rude now. What's wrong with believing in the points I make?Quote:

Yes, that was the rumor!. 6-8 events.
Apart from him saying what he said, this article CLEARLY states, that there will be no changes to the drivers line-up for Monte Carlo. Meaning Loeb will not be able to do a full season.Quote:

Should be very easy to find sponsorship for Loeb.
It’s a fake picture
Cmon guys wait for some more hours.
I'll wait for a more reliable source than David Evans at least...
Also, a reply to everyone asking "why is not Hyundai already announcing their driver lineup / why does not Paddon still have a contract"Quote:

Can they run four cars, or restricted to three?Quote:

So they could run at least ten then.. :)
Physically not possible.
