Silly Season 2019

[er88]

To drop Paddon totally while keeping Mikkelsen for a full year is very harsh based on the performances last season (if Paddon is indeed out). But Hyundai will be factoring in that it was Mikkelsen's first full season, and that combined with the fact he has an existing contract has probably saved him.

Shame there aren't more seats around. Paddon, Breen, Evans, Ostberg, Tidemand, Kalle, Kopecky etc could all do a job in the top category. Then you've got the drivers like Camilli and Greensmith who are maybe looking to find a way in through bringing some budget too.

Still, can't complain too much as we've had the best two years in a long long time, intense battles in great cars, and to top it off silly season has been bonkers i never thought Loeb would drive anything other than a PSA car. Can't believe Citroen didn't find the extra few million to keep the relationship going, so I'm still thinking it's more to do with Ogier demanding Loeb did a full season or nothing at all - with no guest appearances.

Definitely Ogier did not want to see Loeb in the same team despite the fact what he said...
