Could be quite realistic, BRC win should also help.

What we all want is to M-Sport at least spice things a little bit, even if it's a second slower than multimillion cars on the grid. Having only learning guys in the team isn't helping nobody, neither them, neither the drivers, neither the championship. And I think that right now nobody out of experienced guys who isn't driving will not expect being payed to be in the team. They are not in that position to be that stupid.
Sordo i dont think he is interessted in full season anymore.
I'm not shure mikkelsen is able to rejoin hyundai eighter.
My guess is rotating drivers, paddon should been given a shot.
If its youngsters, hyundai has a plan to keep on after -26.

Any combination of Sordo, Mikkelsen, Lappi and Rossel looks most likely to me. Out of these only Mikkelsen and Lappi are candidates for full season drives.
Gryazin a riskier option (for multiple reasons) and unlikely as only driver.
Paddon a bit distant bet and again not as only driver due to 7 years out of top class car.
For car sharing I would expect max two drivers.
Hyundai need to go with the most experienced driver with the Rally1 car. There's no time to learn it and hope to get results at the same time.
What about....................................... CHRIS INGRAM!? :o
Give Sordo the same money they offered Tänak, and we’re good to go. He’s the most reliable driver who isn’t driving now.
Colin Clark appeared on an Estonian evening program via Zoom, where he speculated that Tänak was offered the highest salary ever for a WRC driver. He mentioned that Ogier earned around €14 million for his season with Citroën, so Tänak’s offer would have been even higher. I really doubt that, but what he was quite certain about was that Tänak was offered a lot of money. I’ll link the interview here as well. Hopefully it’s not geo-restricted. If it is restricted, let me know and I'll upload it somewhere.
