Questions is if he wants to. Finland has always been the weakest rally for the car with not a single podium.
His 2018 campaign with (likely) bad car, has probably hurt his career quite a bit.

I have a feeling the main idea is to pick up a LOT of easy 2nds and maybe some wins to pad his CV for when he grows up and wants to do serious rally..
Higgins is good..But he's also a LOT older and shall we say politely "comfortable" with no "real" competition... 2nd place level guys are merely rich guys..what you guys call "gentleman drivers"
3 place level guys are a series of nice friendly guys who are on the next page of the calender in SS times..
The excitement here is 100% artificial, since finally, after 30 years, people are asking "why are we supposed to get excited about a kid with absolute ZERO connection to US or North American Rally hopping right in at the absolute top?"
So the breathless oh-I-think-I-just-squirted-in-my-jeans press releases seem more of the normal over-hyped US promotion...
Well if they come and say "you can do Finland in WRC for free" with no commitments he will prbly say yes. At the at the same time he can do some rounds with Fabia to show how he is relative to others.
Btw. any vid of the crash? Haven't seen any and there is no onboard on wrc+.
It's probably rather short list for the 3rd car there, Loeb if he wants (not sure), Sordo very unlikely as he doesn't like it and never did good there, Paddon said no.... maybe Breen. Østberg would be ideal, but he will likely try all he can go with C3.
Wasn't sure where to put this, hopefully not a repost..

Craig Breen interviewed yesterday said he was 99.9% sure of a 2019 seat and had two options.
But when Abu Dhabi pulled sponsorship at Citroen he expected to go to Hyundai. But unexpectedly they had decided to sign Loeb.
He said Citroen going with only two cars is strange but they clearly prioritised the WDC with Ogier.
Finally he joked he would bet a lot of money he would drive in WRC at some point this year.
That sounds like the options were Citroen and Hyundai.
Kind of strange tbh replacing Paddon with Breen, doesn't make much sense to me.
would like to see Breen in Fiesta ;) clearly there's no room in Hyundai and I doubt Citroen puts out 3rd car, unless you drown them in money.
Well, then, let´s wait and see who pays most money, Tidemand or Breen... ;)
