Hyundai WRT

He turned the drive down. Or why is he this bitter?

My thoughts exactly.

That's the final nail in the coffin, if ever I've seen one.

Hyundai clearly going all-out for the Manufacturers title, swapping and changing their line-up and now bringing in a 5th driver to the team.

If they dont win it now they never will.

Why can't they win it in years to come?

We do not know what the team and Paddon have agreed though. So not much point to judge him.

He turned the drive down.

IIRC he turned down a one-off drive for Sweden (maybe rumoured but not confirmed which round, it was a while ago!) when it was offered at the end of last year/start of this year. After the team backtracked on many other promises made to him last year...

I can see why this would seem like a bad joke to him, even if that might not be the most politic response.

Possible the team have been messing him around again too? Nothing has been made public about any discussions happening this year between him and the WRC team, but who knows.

Think he's referring to the rumours that Hyundai corporate brass will pull the pin on WRC if they don't get a title this year. They are only rumours though as far as I know.

The plot thickens!

Adamo seems to be one cut-throat person, I'm only imagining if discussions between Paddon and Hyundai about Finland haven't been progressing that well Adamo would have turned to Breen who always was going to accept it. Unless Paddon had an agreement (which is why I asked why he is bitter and justifiably so then).

E: And now with Paddon's latest comment the perspective is completely changed.
