I believe that the battle for Manufacturer title will be over much sooner than previous season. Since Hyundai seems doesn't care at all. We just waiting what Lappi will bring to the table (he teases new co-driver on FB and it's assumed it's Malkonen). If he will announce driving rally1 car, then it's still hope it's Hyundai, if not it's a done deal, they will not field no more than 3 cars. Because I personaly don't think that even sharing that 4th car between many drivers will not give them any advantage at all, because lacking seat time.
What I heard it´s Mälkönen...
Lappi, soon on your radars.
