I found the second part very puzling
That's exactly what he did last year in Spain! "Interferred" with championship..almost cost Ogier the title. Now he suddenly starts feeling bad about it?

Anyway there are now multiple signs that it is not very likely we will see Loeb on more rounds than the 6 he was originally signed for:
- This article where he complains about tactics etc.
- Adamo (desperately?) apologizing (new autosport article)
- Loebs pace in Portugal and comments trough the weekend. (he says he used same diff as Neuville which he didn't test before rally, anyway he came there on a high being finally able to fight in the top in Chile... and wasn't able to fight)
- tarmac pace with the car

Maybe if the tarmac pace/experience changes after the two coming local rallies there is some hope.

Which does open a gap at Hyundai in GB and possibly AUS and TUR. I would say it's now or never for Paddon. Breen would be my second candidate.
