    Hyundai's PR statement is revealing:

    "Craig returns to the team fully motivated and secures an enviably talented line-up to support Thierry and Esapekka." - Is that all they think of Craig??? Surely his stock has fallen.

    "With Thierry, we know his performance potential and his appetite to fight for the drivers’ title. With Esapekka joining the team on a full-time campaign, we have a driver line-up that can compete for the top positions at all events and on all surfaces." - We know officially who the number 1 driver is. And who is number 2.

    “Experience has been the number one priority for our 2023 WRC line-up. With Thierry, Esapekka, Dani and Craig, we have a strong combination of drivers who can lead us into a new season." - No youngsters required here. Or novices at this level.

    So in the end no real surprises...hopefully we will get those with MSport and Tanak.

    Hyundai observations:
    - nothing about how many events Sordo vs Breen get

    - Neuville's wish list before Japan was Evans, Mikkelsen,Sordo. He got one of them. Which brings me to DF commenting this was the best they could get...nope, they should have tried hard to get Evans.

    - 2/4 drivers were "kicked" by their other teams

    Well, that is a certain change of priorities for Breen. Remember last year when he was always talking about that his goal was a full season.
    Now the part-time season is acceptable.

    Question is who will run the car. Surely not Tanaks RedGrey?

    Maybe KOWAX?

    RedGrey is a "customer" team owned by Tanak/Martin that was running Hyundai Rally2 cars for Suninen (and Solberg and Veiby before) for last two years.

    EDIT: My understanding is that RedGrey is paid to run the cars by a combination of Hyundai money and money from the drivers.
