    Great to see Mads in an R5 for season, good step for WRC2. Now let's get Paddon in an i20 and Breen in a new Fiesta and take it to the Skodas properly!

    Season 2019 starts in Rally Sweden with Skoda Fabia R5. Last time with Skoda 1,5 years ago was unforgettable. ”It´s nice to go Sweden and I´m really looking forward the rally. Our plans for the season are still open, but in Rally Sweden we are driving with Skoda.”

    Plus Citroen needed to get a decent driver in the C3 R5 to promote its credibility and boost sales against the tough Fabia and Polo competition.
    I wonder why he didn't replace Evans at M-Sport, to be honest.

    Huttunen sounds like he isn't an official Hyundai driver anymore...

    Mads has access to far more money than Evans.

    I was guessing it was Malcom Wilson thing of keeping the drivers he'd bet so much on, like Tanak back in the day, with him, but even Malcom has gone from M-Sport now. I wonder how much of a say he had in the teams' drivers this year.

    He hasn't gone anywhere, just focusing on different things in M-Sport than rallying. I bet he still was up there deciding the drivers as much as before.

    As for why Elfyn and not Mads, maybe they think Elfyn has been loyal to the team helping Ogier and having years of experience of the team whereas Mads has been elsewhere for the past two years. Both Mads and Elfyn had two podiums last year.
