Loeb was unhappy with Portugal team order:
"To be honest, I do not like doing these things. I think there are ways to avoid it or at least make it less obvious. I also did not like having found myself mixed with the pilots who fight for the championship when I do not play anything on a personal level. I did not come here for this. Therefore, I can understand that these things bother Seb (Ogier) or others, " admitted Loeb in AUTO hebdo.

I found the second part very puzling
That's exactly what he did last year in Spain! "Interferred" with championship..almost cost Ogier the title. Now he suddenly starts feeling bad about it?
Anyway there are now multiple signs that it is not very likely we will see Loeb on more rounds than the 6 he was originally signed for:
- This article where he complains about tactics etc.
- Adamo (desperately?) apologizing (new autosport article)
- Loebs pace in Portugal and comments trough the weekend. (he says he used same diff as Neuville which he didn't test before rally, anyway he came there on a high being finally able to fight in the top in Chile... and wasn't able to fight)
- tarmac pace with the car
Maybe if the tarmac pace/experience changes after the two coming local rallies there is some hope.
Which does open a gap at Hyundai in GB and possibly AUS and TUR. I would say it's now or never for Paddon. Breen would be my second candidate.

I'm sure he thinks 'interfering' is fine if it's to improve your own chances. But when its just to hinder an opponent of a team-mate, no.

A national championship event or a national championship+WRC promo event with all the teams present is a bit different in comparison.
