"For those thinking this has anything to do with anything, you’re wrong. This is Adamo’s decision. Fact.

He made it last week and informed Korea and the team soon after."

That article is also another BS

He was fired and he was under investigation for assaulting a team member in monza. And countles other infractions.

You cannot resign with immediate effect that only comes when your contact is terminated.

That's what I thought when I saw 'with immediate effect', how would someone choose to retire with immediate effect, makes no sense.

If you have more info that you can share, it would be much appreciated.

You wrote here about a month ago that Adamo is staying for sure?

Correct. Before Monza. I also wrote above: 'This has been on the cards since Monza'.

See previous posts.

Petter Solberg's phone is ready to recieve the call

Please no.

Petter will be perfect for the team.

No, he wouldn't.

Rallying twitter seems to think that Hyundai may well call it a day for 2022 at least...

Not an awful period from Adamo as Hyundai’s team principal as he succeeded to clinch two manufacturers titles in a limited time (hired quite late to prepare 2019 season and then, complicated to make the car evolve a lot with Covid + new regulation in 2022).
He may have brought some optimization to the team but no real decisive choices from him:
- Loeb was hired by the Penasse-Nandan duo and finally did not deliver much than Paddon from a result-wise point of view
- Tanak’s deal has not been that successful even if it helps to clinch 2020
- he was quite helped by Toyota’s choices to clinch the titles (Meeke was maybe the only réal Makinen’s mistake and Rovanpera was an investment)
- but never find a solution to solve the car issues to face really Toyota.

If they leave, the WRC will die soon after. Hopefully that won't be the case but in these times, anything is possible

[Sulland]

Please no.

No, he wouldn't.

Why do you feel he does not qualify in a position like this? Would be nice with some sentences of explanation?
