Hyundai WRT

If Paddon wins (which I know is unlikely) in Estonia with his Rally2 machine, and Oliver Solberg does horribly wrong, are their any chances they'll let Paddon drive the Rally1 car for Finland or is that just wishful thinking?

No chance...

No chance...

That's a shame, would be interesting to see how Paddon copes after 4(?) seasons of not being in a WRC (/Rally1) car.

Again with the Adamo....

Jesus he must have given the a LOT of money when he was at Hyundai...

The article is completely wrong. It has two key facts totally back-to-front:

1. The car with which Evans' lord and saviour Adamo won Hyundai two championships in '19 and '20 was Nandan's baby.
2. The car currently falling apart all over the world is very much Adamo's legacy.

With this in mind, how would bringing back the man who oversaw the development of the i20 Rally1 to its current position actually help them? Would he miraculously find a way to stop the front end falling off and the transmission failing? If so, why wasn't that built into the car in the first place?

No. The reality is, the buck has to stop somewhere, and in this case, the man in charge when this car was being brought to homologation was... Andrea Adamo.

You sure about this?

You are mostly right.

I feel the most important thing for pardon is finish the race

but who will be the responsible for the failing in season and how will the Hyundai going

I feel the most important thing for Paddon is finish the race

No, if he is slow, why would someone hire him ?

He must show some speed (no need to be faster than Suninen but close to him)

True, however he did say in an interview that his aim is to be on the pace in Finland and that Estonia is just the second test before then.

Even if Paddon would win WRC2 in Estonia and Finland, it would be a tough job to get a Rally1 seat for next year. Just as Mikkelsen.
