Yes indeed, but if he gets beaten by Tanak, will they want him?

While the likes of Mikkelsen, Paddon, Meeke, Latvala, maybe Lappi, Ostberg and Breen are without full wrc drives....

Hyundai are trying to find partners to run a 2nd team with Mikkelsen

Im sure that is the goal, but with that line up at Hyundai, chances would be slim whichever drivers they got alongside Ogier.
Besides, they can’t publically give up can they...

Yes they will. He is still one of the big three, maybe next year the only one real challenger to Mr. Tanak. Except if Rovanpera develops so fast or Evans steps up to become regular podium (or winner) finisher.

Would be great if it’s possible. If it happens, and with Latvala/Katsuta doing some rallies we could end up with more WRC cars on some events than last year despite Citroen leaving...

I'm just worried if Veiby will be picked over proven fast guys. He is nowhere, sorry but is true.

I recall Abu-Dhabi Racing making such statement some 12 months ago...

I don't see much pint in that neither for Mikkelsen nor for Hyundai.

Only reason for Mikkelsen would be that he won't ne sitting at home.

I know Meek like to ride bikes, maybe going Dakar style rallies instead?
Ola Has a lot of experience from both co-driving and bikes and there were some plans to run the old factory Peugeot 3008 but i haven't heard anything for a while
