    there's no discussion with Adamo, he works purely as a manager, no need for an explenation

    I heard somewhere that Adamo said that all connections with Paddon were work of "previous management".

    Also when commenting on the driver change for Portugal he said "when you see the kind of result we had in Chile you have to act quickly".

    My general impression is that he always has to "make decisions" instead of keeping stuff the same or making low risk decisions (like getting Paddon for Finland). Instead he goes for Breen cause after all Breen has a Finland podium.

    That's pretty much the exact opposite of how Nandan looked, for example with the tarmac car getting no changes for a year (from Spain 2017 to 2018) even though all drivers struggled.

    Adamo will choose the third driver for Australia based on the results after Catalunya. If Sordo gets a good result, his starting position is compromised, whereas Breen would most likely have a good starting position

    This is where rotating the drivers works/ can work. On gravel rallies one (sometimes two) of the Hyundai's have had great road position due to not doing the whole championship. Sordo is also happy to do a part time season, so no loss of motivation that could effect performance.

    Loeb interview. Just a minor detail at the end, his dream race with the Hyundai is on smooth gravel (not on tarmac)

    Like everybody, he wants to go to New Zealand, for sure.

    Anyway, this was an interview before the season...

    Well, he had driven the i30n already, when this interview took place. Something Hyundai FRA revealed in June...weather is also quite "t-shirty" and nature green in that one, so i doubt it took place in December. Though yes, there are some controvercies in that article, like "chat before the season"...then again, "They also have a few different drivers to select from between Dani, and me, so they can choose who the best driver for each race and at the moment this works quite well. I hope we will continue at this pace and continue to be able to fight for the championship.”"

    Adamo does not have the ability to decide after Catalunya. Entries for Australia close on October 14th, 10 days before Rally Catalunya starts
