    In tests it feels good, than on the stages it feels different.

    Sometimes I think testing can be misleading, when you pound over the same road man times you adjust yourself to the road and car, even if its subconscious and you can feel well with the set up. when you have to be flat out on the first pass in competition, there is no adjustment time and you are slow.

    I find it interesting that the decision to develop the Paddon transmission requirements must have been made some time ago so that he could test and refine in the Estonian rally before Finland. Also interesting is that at Shakedown he used the set up as decided upon by the other two team drivers after their Finland test day then changed to his Estonian Rally developed set up for the rally. For sure, aside from being quicker than his team mates he did appear to be far more comfortable with his car than they were all event.
    With this investment into a set up developed for Hayden it does make one wonder what changes might be in the wind for next season.
    Things happen for reasons, not excuses.

    The only driver with a contract for 19 is Mikkelsen?

    Mikkelsen not necessarily.

    It's understood the options on the second year are in the team's favour...

    Mikkelsen gets closer to becoming ostberg vol. 2 year by year... a nobody with a rich daddy.

    Earlier in the season I've read that Hyundai would have introduced few upgrades to the car for Deutschland Rallye. Are they testing them or did they change plans?

    At the end of next year we wll know for sure.This moment its a bit early to judje him.When he was at vw he was a rising driver,actually 3rd driver.This year is his first as leading driver along with Neuville,so be patient until the end of next season.

    Did Mikkelson even do Finland? he was anonymous... there could be some clearing out of the divisions next year

    JML?
    Mikkelson?
    Sordo?
    Paddon?
    Evans?

    Maybe not Breen, but he soon need to start showing something... if Ogier goes to Citroen, I dont see room, unless he outbids Otsberg?

    Mikkelsen has to the be the biggest disappointment of 2018.

    After all his 'desperate to get back to WRC' talk and then landing a great full-time seat in possibly the best car, he has done virtually nothing. He's scored a third of the points of Neuville who everyone used to think he was superior to..
