In the past 2 years of Rally2 starts the only rally where Suninen has been clearly fastest ( of those that were there) is Finland. Which is one of the two rallies that Hyundai definitely needs to fill this year. So that alone puts Suninen into consideration. His pace on other rallies doesn't stand out.
So it depends on what Hyundais plans are beyond this year. The key to that is Sordo. If they plan to run Sordo for most rallies next year Suninen can fill those 2-3 fast ones. If Sordo should run less then Mikkelsen is much more universal choice for a stable points scorer. Until Portugal I would bet Sordo was on the way out but in Portugal he was back to old form, didn't confirm it here though.
Solberg is this year much more stable with great drives in Sweden and Portugal. Every other rally is still a mess with issues every second stage though (here in Sardinia, Croatia, Monte..). Wait at least until after this season.
Pajari is next potential candidate but he is at least 1,5 season away.
Lindholm (who was originally in the rumors) imo just confirms this year how undeserved his last years title was.
Really?? I'm no fan of F1, but too many here have a giant chip on their shoulder about F1......Compared to the WRC, it's actually a well run series....unlike the WRC which is extremely amateur a lot...
