Latest Colin Clark Kitchen Table. Thoughts on Hyundai Rally Finland Lineup. CC very keen to see Paddon back!
Paddon and Hyundai WRT are not likely to happen this year, Paddon would likely have to do Rally Finland with an untested co-driver, probably Finland is the last event a driver would want drive in that situation. Huttunen and Linnaketo likely combo.
Well if Paddon is asked to do Finland it needs to be done soon. He needs some time behind the car before he gets out on the stages. Obviously Hyundai was (is?) seriously considering Huttunen for Finland. I'm sure he would not do as well as Hayden considering he has only driven the car in anger once. His pace at Rihiimaki was okay and nothing to get excited about.
do we know how Neuville got through, whilst both his teammate got the same issue in the same stage in Portugal? It appears Sordo and Loeb suffered the same mechanical issue, surprising to see Neuville un-affected.

The comment from Adamo about football teams using their best players is telling...
