Hyundai also dropped Jari Huttunen from the WRC2 program. Or actually, Huttunen just said in a recent interview that he still hasn't been told he's dropped, but no drives either. Not sure if it has to do with Andrea Adamo being previously the R5 program manager, has anyone filled those shoes?

As for Paddon, it truly seems he's just cementing his future in the NZ motorsport scene and not investing in a WRC comeback.
