So let’s look at the Hyundai situation. They have announced that Thierry has a contract for three years and will lead the team in 2019. Andreas has a contract for 2019. The contracts (or lack of them) for both Dani and Hayden are yet to be announced. BUT. In 2018 both Dani and Hayden had contracts then Andreas was brought in over the top of them both and we had the share car situation.

We are lead to believe that Dani has stated that he does not want a full season.

Hyundai have just updated the car to include the transmission changes that Hayden has been requesting ever since the car first saw the light of day

Hayden meanwhile is back in NZ quietly running his AP4 car in various configurations including a new rear wing that not only is more pleasing to the eye but actually works better than the WRC type rear wing he had been using.

Could it be that the final decision has yet to be made and that it could well be Andreas and Dani sharing a car?
