    Jouhki says Latvala and Suninen have contracts for 2019 full seasons, but team names cannot be revealed yet. Great for Teemu!

    Also repeated what's been said earlier of Rovanperä, the Skoda contract is 3 years, but if a WRC team is interested in him after two years and he has been successful enough with Skoda, he is free to go. Many teams are already interested in him for 2020.

    And citroen keeps Breen and Østberg who will be 3rd and likely leading Citroen driver ?

    I believe we have 1 open factory seat if Paddon/Sordo keep sharing or if Paddon goes somewhere and Sordo doesn´t want full season Hyundai needs 0,5 driver.
    Sordo to Citroen makes sense as he has history there... plus Spain is a huge market for Citroen road cars.

    Paddon's links with Hyundai NZ are strong, makes sense he stays with them.

    As long as Ogi don't go to Hyundai I'm happy with it. Now just hope that Paddon and Sordo stays too. Hope that Tidemand get a seat somewhere over Rovanperra. We all know why. Rovanperra is quick but needs to finish all rallies first. Who I really don't want to get back is Loeb or some bloke from F1.

    Let me guess: because you can't spell his name correctly?

    If Citroen fails to get a no 1 driver, will they go back to trying to get Loeb for a full season?

    for sure they will try, but it sounds that the money required to convince loeb of a full time return could be a lot more than Ogier's price tag imo.

    There are only three 'No.1 driver's' - Ogier, Neuville and Tanak.

    If Citroen cant get one of these, then Sordo is 5th in the currrent WRC table and having a good year.

    Lappi or Latvala... I dont see them leaving Toyota.

    it will be pity for such team not having a number one driver.Ok this year was Meeke even thought he didn't prove it,but at least they had a hope that he may drive properly to some rallies.I think 2019 it will be the first year (if ogier wont join the team) that citroen will not have a driver able to reach the top of podium.
