    So it was only going to be a part-season anyway. Then Tanak went and they didnt want him for the full season.

    But I don't understand, how does Lappi taking Tänak's seat affect Mikkelsen's contract to drive as Sordo's pair? Unless they were planning to share the second car seat as well?

    If you have a mutual agreement, writed several versions to make it fit both parts, just missing the last signature, you probably had a vocal deal on it too and some handshakes, it can be discussed in court, so well, without the details its hard to say.
    But i dont understand why Tänaks departure change everything? And was Tänaks goodbye a total surprise to Hyundai? And, the lack of a strong teamboss makes this mess?

    Maybe Sordo was going to retire and changed his mind? Or Suninen sweetened the deal with his performance or other means?

    EDIT: Or Sordo was going to do 4, Mikkelsen 6 and the rest Suninen?

    thats also my guess, but after they got Lappi together with his Toyota knowledge they changed the plans.

    You mean Mikkelsen was planned to share a seat with Tänak?

    That Mikkelsen and Hyundai situation sounds really unprofessional. From both sides.
