Front cover of Motorsport News today sees David Evans double down and write that Hyundai are going to sign Mikkelsen, run four cars for the next two years and become the new WRC super power.

Apparently there are concerns in the service park that this would turn Hyundai into a VW-esque super power which made me laugh. They'd have four drivers with just eight combined victories - and still wouldn't have the quickest two guys in the championship.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia
