    Think Oliver may go for Giraudet. He was with them at the testing and has co driven Oliver before.

    I thought he may be the target for Fourmaux!

    I've heard that the new codriver for Fourmeaux will be the codriver that was with Rossel before.

    Well, at least they have time without each other. Veillas do the most PET with Ogier.

    No way, isn’t he too old for that? Coaching is a different thing…

    Another thing that was done correctly for Kalle. He had an old experienced co-driver in the early years and switched to a younger one just as he entered WRC, they will have a long career together.

    Out of contract Hyundai WRC driver Dani Sordo says people won’t be surprised by his plans for 2022 as the Spaniard's World Rally Championship future remains up in the air.

    Sordo is among the most experienced drivers in the WRC having made his championship debut in 2003, driving for Citroen, Mini, Ford and Hyundai factory teams, winning three rallies across his career to date.

    The 38-year-old has been with Hyundai since the marque’s re-emergence on the WRC scene in 2014 but has been driving partial campaigns since 2018.

    However, his future for next season is yet to be announced as Hyundai continues to weigh up its options for its third car, after re-signing 2019 world champion Ott Tanak and Thierry Neuville earlier this year.

    Sordo has confirmed that plans for 2022 are in the works and that a part-time campaign is expected should a new deal with Hyundai emerge.

    “I don’t know, for sure I will do something. We don’t know yet,” said Sordo when asked when he could confirm his 2022 plans.

    “I’m just focusing on the rallies coming up. They are very important for us and it is quite busy timing but after that we have to take some time to see what we can do.

    “If I do something it will be the same [part-time] conditions.

    “I don’t think so,” he added, when asked if his decision for 2022 would come as a surprise.

    This season Sordo has been sharing the third with Craig Breen although the Irishman has been heavily linked with a move to M-Sport for 2022.

    Breen wishes to contest a full season next year and Hyundai boss Andrea Adamo confirmed to Autosport that his team is unable to offer that to Breen.

    “It is clear that Craig thinks he deserves to do the world championship and it is clear that Hyundai cannot offer him the world championship,” said Adamo.

    Adamo has confirmed that he is in talks with Sordo and last month he hinted that Hyundai’s WRC2 driver Oliver Solberg could be in the mix to graduate to the WRC next season.

    Solberg has been testing Hyundai’s 2022 machine this week along with Thierry Neuville, and the son of 2003 world champion Petter Solberg has also been handed a third WRC outing with the marque at Rally Spain next month.

    Hyundai’s decision to hand Solberg the Rally Spain drive has seen the manufacturer sign M-Sport WRC refugee Teemu Suninen to drive Solberg’s vacated WRC2 car in Spain.

    Suninen is a free agent for next year following his split with M-Sport and could be a valuable asset to Hyundai for the future given his experience.

    So...either retirement or part time in Hyundai once more? If I had to guess I'd say part time again but it seems everybody seems pretty tight lipped for the time being.
    Only you know your true potential.
    This year we rally #ForCraig
