    For Finland for example, it would be a bit strange if the winner of 2016 edition won't be there in 2018 (nor last year's third...).
    Given what looks from the outside tight finances for PSA I doubt they would stop him driving for a different manufacturer, and given the fairly bad publicity they have dealt themselves with the manner in which they appear to have fired Kris, stopping him driving for someone else would only create more. No mention of him on their Twitter account now either.
    Also, if Kris was contracted to drive the whole of the season, as Matton had publicly stated before, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on. If it went to court it could be argued that PSA were hindering Kris' future employment opportunities and that could get costly.

    As for Kris getting an Msport drive this season, well, they have Ogier as number one driver and Evans, Sunninen both podiums in Portugal so I don't see either losing a drive at the minute. As they say, to finish first, first you must finish.
