    Loeb is for sure doing Spain. Everything else is open

    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.

    Why wouldn't Kennard co-drive for Paddon if he got and excepted the offer to do Finland?

    JK is fit, healthy and still bouncing around.
    Things happen for reasons, not excuses.

    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.

    Adamo doesn't trust him.

    Whether you think Mikkelsen is deservedly in this position or not due to his form since joining Hyundai, this isn't the way to get the best out of him imo. Knowing any bad result or crash could lead to him being dropped again is tough for a driver mentally. Drivers need a clear mind - whether it's being told you're in the car for the rest of year or you'll miss this event or that. Clarity, whether it's good news or bad.

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