My views on the options:

a) Very difficult to make this happen I think. Two guys with personal ambitions/backing have come together. The team is built around them. I don't see how Andreas fits in. If they add a car then EVEN might as well go direct to M-Sport. It has to be their name on the entry list after all.

b) This is a long-term strategy. Teams aren't going to get rid of a driver quickly. They'd also need to be able to break the contract. Let's be real we are talking about Breen, Lefebvre, Hanninen. Maybe Sordo. All of which are under contract - and three of which have deals for next year too.

c) This has to be the best option. Take that money they were going to use for VW and see if M-Sport, Citroen or even Hyundai can stretch to a fourth car for the right price. He'd then have to beat their other drivers on pace to try and force a deal for 2018. It seems like Citroen are already behind on car availability. Have to think Ford are the best bet but they might be maxed out for a few months now. Hyundai could do it I'm sure if they wanted. I just don't see them being bothered enough to do it.


In summary I can't see Andreas getting into a car until after Finland. Even then it's hard to see the obvious way in.
