I know, I'm aware of this, but I just think his (and Hyundai's) mind(s) might be changed if he nails the first two events with wins. Don't forget, not that long ago he only waned to do three rounds and not long before that, he had retired altogether.
I just think it would be absolutely amazing for the sport if he did have another crack at the WDC.

Paddon just confirmed on his social media that he was offered only 1 rally (which is an insult) and he declined so there won't be any WRC for him this year.
That is just wrong to retain Mikkelsen over him like this...

Wow, that sucks. 1 rally is a slap in the face. I hope he gets picked up by MSport....

I agree.. it seems as if he waited too long?? Devastating for him. They offered him one rally because they know he would say no. Maybe he will show up in WRC 2 Pro...

From his comments (though he wasn't so blunt) it wasn't him waiting, it was the team stringing him along with empty promises to delay things while they screwed him over behind the scenes.
I don't think Hyundai NZ will be very happy either, NZ is a small country that values old-fashioned things like loyalty and honesty - by treating their local brand ambassador like this the WRC team have probably just cost them quite a lot of sales.Last edited by GravelBen; 14th December 2018 at 04:21.

Goodbye Newville, Goodbye dreams ...
Run at M-Sport while there's room ...
Loeb has never been a team player, he's greedy ...

i just cant believe this, he was the most scoring Hyundai driver in the second half of the season. E: (well just 2 points less than Neuville but Paddon with 2 less rallies!)
this is mean hyundai, really mean from you.
Mikkelsen with a full season and Paddon at home? MehLast edited by EstWRC; 14th December 2018 at 07:05.
