Hyundai WRT

Do you see a way how he would fit in the team anyway? He has experience with this car, finished last season on a high (podium from Australia), whereas Breen had 2 or 3 mistakes? And we know the result.

But i am happy for Breen.

Adamo quote is clear enough on their reason for choosing Breen:
"Rally Finland is a very particular type of event that warrants an approach like no other on the calendar,” said our Team Director Andrea. “It’s a huge challenge for teams and crews alike. Craig has demonstrated his class at this event in the past and has a lot of experience, which will be invaluable to us.”

Not sure if Mikkelsen over Loeb in Finland is a great choice by Hyundai. Only if Andreas discover great car settings and finds good feeling with the car on fast roads in Estonia, otherwise he has always been terrible there.

[Tarmop]

Well, not convincing numbers, when you add the experience with the specific car...

Not sure if Mikkelsen over Loeb in Finland is a great choice by Hyundai.

I don't think it's Hyundai's choice. If Loeb has made anything clear about his 2019 campaign, it's that he's not interested in doing Finland.

This story has not ended. First we´ll have to see what result comes out from Finland. Knowing Adamo´s mind he well could bring other drivers, Paddon included. Paddons comment today only showed his frustration not being talked to. Let´s wait and see. Speculations at this moment what will happen, is worthless.

The April fools comment says a lot if you think about it. He is obviously very bitter and upset. I think Paddon thinks his allegiance to Hyundai NZ carries some weight with Hyundai WRT, but it's obvious they could care less about his rallying ventures outside of the WRC.

It might be a good time to move on and start aggressively working on a drive with other teams. April fools already took place when he was offered one event... It's July now.

It might be a good time to move on and start aggressively working on a drive with other teams.

Imho he should have done it already but seats are very few and it's not easy especially if you don't pay to drive.
We don't know what brought Adamo to chose for Breen over him so maybe his rage is understandable but for sure it will not be of any help to him to make it public.

I will say my comments are nothing against @Craig_Breen and I wish him all the best for the rally! Naturally - I am dissapointed that we weren’t considered

Comments from paddon in the comments of the article from wrc in facebook:

Oisin Sherlock we didn’t get offered nothing

Andrew Little yes it has always been media speculation. We have been talking to them last 2 months trying to do this rally

I don't know how to post the screenshot, sorry.
