    Oh no...

    DirtFish understands Matton is one of the candidates under consideration to succeed Andrea Adamo as team principal of Hyundai Motorsport, but he has also run his own MY Racing team.

    That is my impression from his interviews as well.

    Since MSport wants him to pay, he doesn't want to end like Suninen this year, who spend tons of money on basically pointless starts. In the meantime he gets salary at Skoda/Toksport.

    I think others may think around similar lines (Loubet, Gryazin).

    Matton to Hyundai would be an absolute disaster for the WRC. Unless Hyundai want to put the wheels in motion for having to pull out a year or so down the line....

    Who can blame them, after the last couple of years. If you’re going to spend a bunch of money to rent a Rally1 car then you’d at least want some evidence it’s competitive, and with Toyota & Hyundai initially at least not offering any possibility, I would wait until after Sweden before I made any decision if it was me.

    Yes, maybe that's what Wuorela was all about?

    M-Sport could well be the only team who rents Rally1, it could be enough for someone like Gryazin or Loubet, whether the car is competitive or not.

    The problem for Mikkelsen is that if he does eventually decide to rent a Puma later in the season, he won't have any experience with it and generating/deploying the hybrid power.

    If the car is competitive, the driver might not be...
