Mikkelsen on the Hyundai Rally1 drive that never came...

At the time when this interview appeared it gave us already a peek behind the scenes what was going on this winter with Mikkelsen. With the very unfortunate disappearance of Craig Breen this interview might get a whole other meaning ...

It’s a decision for Hyundai to make if they will use Sordo for all the rallies or bring in another driver to take the rallies Breen would have competed in. I don’t really like discussing it so soon, but it is a reality that there will be 3 cars on the other events after Croatia I’m sure.

If Sordo does want to do all the rounds, he has been reluctant so far to do the full season (for years now).

For me it is a bit too early to start this discussion, both due to proximity of the accident and due to how the calendar looks.

Sordo will do Croatia and likely Portugal and Sardinia, can also do Kenya. Estonia is the first rally where he is a really bad choice.

would be really weird, if they put Sordo(or abybody else) as third car in Croatia..

I can’t imagine for 1 second there will be a 3rd car in Croatia. That really would be bad form from Hyundai and I can’t believe it will happen.

For sure two cars in Croatia and the someone for the rallys Sordo isn't competitive at.

As Hyundai will only run with 2 cars (I presume/hope), there will be discussions ongoing now with the teams and FIA for Toyota to maybe only nominate 2 drivers before the rally, as their manufacturer pt scorers. So it's fair for the championship - 2 of Ogier/Kalle/Evans.

I don't think it would be right or fair of Hyundai to put Sordo in the car, or launch a Mikkelsen/Suninen etc in the 3rd car.

Suninen should be the option.
