Finally seen the Motorsport News stories this week. Not much news really. Elfyn missing GB was the top story.

On the Ostberg thing - slightly more detail from Morten - hinting that Mads may not be able to do all the rounds next year as one option could be a driver share in whatever team he is talking about.

"Mads is working very hard on his tarmac driving now and it's working, but maybe there could be some driver changes in the team on some of those [asphalt] rallies, but he will be there on the gravel and and we really hope Monte Carlo where he has a good record."


So for me that makes things even more of a mystery. Toyota we know won't have a third car on the Monte. And if Adapta were running (via M-Sport) then it would be hard to believe they'd force out Mads for someone else.

I am intrigued...
