Silly Season 2022

[MartinH3000]

Breen is in the Hyundai for Finland anyway.

For sure Breen has a contract with M-Sport for at least next year...

The speculation can end.

Question is who other than Fourmaux also has a contract....

Breen is in the Hyundai for Finland anyway.

exactly, like there would be an another option, there isnt

[Danny0405]

For M-Sport, a good deal would be for the third car:
- Mikkelsen 5 rallyes (+ 7 Rallyes in Rally2)
- Loeb 3 rallyes
- another one, either Gryazin, Suninen, Greensmith, Bulacia, ... => 5 rallyes (+ 7 rallyes in Rally2)

It Would give almost a complete season for Mikkelsen + M-Sport clearly need to hire an experienced driver to end their bad streak in Rally2 and Mikkelsen, even if it is not his best season, is currently title contender in both ERC and WRC-2. For example, Citroen was able to improve in WRC-2 with Ostberg because there were quite nowhere at the beginning with Lefebvre.
He does not give enough guarantees (especially because of his two years out of the game) to be the number 1 driver but a program like this would be good.

However, Mikkelsen should also be a strong contender for Hyundai shared 3rd car if Breen goes to M-Sport

Sunninen quit M-sport today.

Seems a bit weird that it's so "sudden". I was particularly looking forward to him driving vs Gryazin in same car.

Anyway this means he will likely start with some WRC this year, options:

- "paydrive" at Toyota because of Jouhki
- Adamos "trumph card" for Finland as a 4th car, if he does well he will drive instead of Loubet afterwards/next year

- (most crazy) Breen won't drive in Finland for Hyundai and Suninen replaces him immediatelly

Maybe there is 3rd Hyundai available, if Breen is going to M-Sport. Sordo is there, but no way that Adamo is sharing the 3rd car with Solberg and Huttunen. Not enough experience to drive Manufacturer´s points. Maybe Solberg in Sweden, but no other events. Suninen would be good with Sordo. A new WRC start for him...

My point was that since he left now while already entered for Greece he likely has some real plans already this year. (to try to convince someone like Hyundai to hire him for next year)

Yes, they have already a plan. There was nothing left at M-Sport, because the car was so bad. Now he is able to show what is possible with the competitive car...

Good decision, he wasn’t going to show anything in the Fiesta this year. Better to pull off a Lappi style WRC2 showdown in Finland…or even in a hired Yaris!
