    Awesome news!


    That mikkelsen contract isn’t that waterproof as told in the beginning of the season.

    Too bad that Mikkelsen still in Sardegna. Would have been good to see Loeb drive again with my own eyes.

    Wonder how much this was Adamo's decision and how much it was decided from above. My feeling is the second option.
    Somebody at Hyundai leadership saw Loeb on 3rd and wondered why he is not starting next rally. From listening to Adamo my impression was that he was more focused on improving the car and less on changing the drivers.

    Getting kicked after finishing 2nd just one rally before is certainly something new, who wouldn't want to drive for a team like that.

    Maybe Sordo will kindly step aside for Sardegna if needed...

    I don't get why they dont just use 4 cars. Sure, it won't help them in the fight for the manufacturers title, but it gives them another extra chance to take points away from ogier or tanak for the drivers title.

    Maybe they spent the extra money on paying Loeb and then lawyer bills...

    That would be a quite considerable increase in cost

    That is professional sports for you, you are as good as your last result. (assuming that you have not built yourself a cushion with incredible performances before). Mikkelsen was the slowest WRC in Chile. He was slower than Loeb on ALL but 1 stage. (seem incredible, I know)

    Completely understandable decision.
