I never understood how a big team like hyundai could be so stupid as to hire solberg. It's like they didn't even wanted to try and fight for the manufacturers title. So many better drivers available.

Must be Mikkelsen if not Suninen. Both will deserve another try on the highest level. Not able to win, but being Thierry´s wingman and a couple of podiums, when top 6 have some problems.

Has Sordo also been sacked as number 3?

Well understandable for Hyundai to look for the best option to counter Toyota next year because the second part of the season has clearly shown it’s possible. Let’s see what they choose but clearly, the most logical option is to make a shared car between Sordo and another guy, probably Mikkelsen (or hiring back Breen but don’t seem a good bet).
For Solberg, a M-Sport deal would sound the best bet for both the team and the guy. The learning phase is finished so it’s a bet but which could pay back a lot.

If as rumoured Tanak leaves Hyundai, then Mikkelsen no.2 to Neuville and Sordo/Suninen sharing the third car seems like a good plan.
Breen should stay at M-Sport but ideally not as lead driver. If Tanak comes that would be perfect. If Loubet can fund third Puma on events where Loeb does not drive I would favour him over Greensmith/Formaux. Presumably Greensmith will do a full season anyway and could fill any gaps in car three that Loubet cannot afford.

Latvala already said for 2025-2026 they should just take the hybrids out.
