    He does, but Paddon and Sordo were also under contract for 2018 and they shared a car. Mikkelsen could be sharing a car next year...

    True it can happen this year already. They said it to publicity at the start of the season that no one is safe from sharing a seat, even Neuville (but that won't happen because he is in great fight for title).

    I wouldn't make it a single prediction, more like scenarios.

    1. Ogier stays at M-Sport

    Pretty much everyone will stay where they are. Citroen will be left without a number one driver and Abu Dhabi will take their money off. Unless they manage to get someone like Lappi or Sordo.

    2. Ogier goes to Citroen

    In this case M-Sport would now be left without a number one driver. As Colin Clark suggests, maybe Kris Meeke could be an option for them, but can the old burnt bridges be rebuilt? Would M-Sport try to get Lappi or Sordo as well?

    3. Ogier goes to Toyota

    This would be quite bad for the sport, but we must accept that it could be realistic. In this case Lappi would go to Citroen, but M-Sport would again be short of a winning driver, would they again try Meeke?

    Citroen and Toyota might want Neuville as well, but I have a feeling he's going nowhere. We could also speculate about Hyundai's future. If Sordo goes, Paddon could just be put in the car for a full season, but they would need a tarmac specialist. Maybe Kopecky?

    I would like to see Tidemand in a WRC car. At the same time, futures of Evans, Østberg and Breen might be uncertain with the pace and results they've shown this season, so there could be a chance for him? His manager has said it's not sensible to rent a WRC car for pace showing, but I think he should just try out with the possibility of showing pace like Suninen in 2017.
