Yes, its pretty ridiculous for people to say he's had a terrible 2018 when he has hardly been in the car. And don't forget that about half of his bad results in 2017 were from mechanical problems not driver.

I don't think Hyundai's treatment of Paddon and Sordo contracts will help them attracting other drivers if they are looking - drivers have seen that a 'full season contract' with Hyundai might mean you only get to drive half the season if they find someone else they want.
