My thoughts exactly.

We do not know what the team and Paddon have agreed though. So not much point to judge him.
IIRC he turned down a one-off drive for Sweden (maybe rumoured but not confirmed which round, it was a while ago!) when it was offered at the end of last year/start of this year. After the team backtracked on many other promises made to him last year...
I can see why this would seem like a bad joke to him, even if that might not be the most politic response.
Possible the team have been messing him around again too? Nothing has been made public about any discussions happening this year between him and the WRC team, but who knows.
Adamo seems to be one cut-throat person, I'm only imagining if discussions between Paddon and Hyundai about Finland haven't been progressing that well Adamo would have turned to Breen who always was going to accept it. Unless Paddon had an agreement (which is why I asked why he is bitter and justifiably so then).
