    Paddon on loan at M-Sport was rumoured by Colin Clark last week.

    I thought it had legs as it would give Paddon the full-time drive he badly needs (and cant get at Hyundai); plus it gives M-Sport a driver with no or reduced salary to pay.

    The main drawback is M-Sport couldnt enter the Manu's Ch'ship.

    I said it wouldnt hurt. He certainly made a lot of it on social media.

    All positive publicity is good when you are fighting for a drive.

    Why would Hyundai loan him out? He can't have a contract anyway for 2019, so why would they re-sign him and loan him out? Why not just not renew his contract and make him a free agent?

    But does it have to be 50-50? Sordo wanted a full season last time, then Penasse said, that they came to an arrangement that he shares a car? So maybe it is something like Huttunen in Sweden and Finland ( Sordo is not keen on Finland)...

    On or before the 18th, if the rumour mill is accurate. Very soon if that's true.

    I know Rally Legend is contentious around these parts, but I found it (mildly) interesting that Meeke has some form of sponsorship from both Alpine Stars and Michelin, plus a co-driver change.

    That could work, maybe Wales and Sardinia/Turkey/Australia for Huttunen also, 10-Sordo 4-Huttunen

    That would sound much more reasonable (especially if the occasional fourth car is out of question, which it very well might be). Huttunen let's say in Sweden, Finland, Wales and Australia (?) and Dani drives the rest.
