Silly Season 2019

Hyundai will stay with Dani Sordo
According to Spanish March, Dani Sordo will stay in the Hyundai team for the 2019 season. Other teams have also expressed interest in the Spaniard. According to journalists, Citroën was eager to get Dani Sordo this summer. The heads of the French team met with the Spaniard, but no agreement was reached. Ott Tänak also asked the Toyota boss to hire Sordo for next season. In the end, neither of these two teams will win the Hyundai driver.
The Korean team does not want Dani Sordo to leave their ranks. During the German Rally, Hyundai began preliminary talks about the next season. According to "Marc", the manufacturer still has to agree with the driver on which raids the Spaniard will drive. One thing is certain: Dani Sordo will defend Hyundai's colors next year.

Reckon Sordo could maybe end up doing 10 events next season if Paddon was to go to Msport. Huttunen could do Sweden, Finland, GB and Australia.

However that team isn't going to win the manufacturers unless Mikkelsen seriously ups his game.

How dare you talk about Mikkelsen like that. HE IS STILL LEARNING THE CAR!!

The Paddon to MSport story came out of NZ. I wouldn't put too much truck on that. Kiwi 'journalists' still believe in Santa citing Mummy as their reliable source.
Paddon will be at Hyundai next year with near full programme equal status as Mikkelsen.

Would Mr Nandan and Mr Penasse possibly do something like the following ?
14 rallies x 2 cars = 28 starts
28 + 2 rallies with an extra car = 30 starts
30 starts divided by 3 drivers = 10 starts each

Ott Tänak also asked the Toyota boss to hire Sordo for next season.

While I get this is just a rumour I wonder when was that supposed to happen? Between Lappi deciding to leave ND Meeke signing? Or to replace someone?

Funny point about Sordo. He has same speed as last year (I'd even say a tiny bit slower (might be the car it self)).
The difference is that this year he didnt have a single technical issue, while last year he had plenty and this year he didn't start the rallies that he doesn't do well on.

are you a robot or do you have some kind of automatic-reply system every time Sordo/Paddon/Hyundai, Mikkelsen/slow and Tänak/Sardegna is mentioned?

every damn time the same damn story.

What the fuck? Like seriously.
This is silly season, there is news about Sordo.
I talk about Sordo. When there were news about Lappi/Breen/Loeb etc I talked about them, every single time.

Just like 5-10 other people always write something when some news come, and just like they already did.

Meeke said in Keskisuomalainen (local newspaper in Jyväskylä) that he had offers from Hyundai, M-Sport and Toyota. He also likes TGR´s "Team Spirit"
