    I expected more from Veiby this year, maybe Skoda did too.

    Sounds like they will go with less drivers next year, maybe Kopecky and Rovanpera in WRC2 and Nordgren to ERC?
    Having five drivers seemed like a bit of excess really

    Maybe it was always planned to whittle it down to a couple to move forward with after this year?

    I guess Tidemand will want to move on too if they are not coming with a WRCar until 2021.

    Nordgren doesn't show promising year either. I wouldn't be surprised if SKODA signs Ingram..

    I have nothing against Ingram, but if Skoda really want another young driver they should take Gryazin.

    What do you expect from someone with less than 15 4WD starts...Although I think they signed him quite early. He needs more starts than he has got this year.

    Maybe this is why they might keep him and not Veiby.. yes Nordgren not too impressive either this year but he is the least experienced of all Skoda guys.

    why he switched to another car and another team before the end of the year?i suppose the contract was until the end of the season.
