One of this rumor comes from Andrea Gambardella (wrctvitaly on IG) and another interesting bit from his post is that Fourmaux has exercised his contract renewal clause and will drive for Hyundai in 2026. Which is not a surprise but just haven't seen this info.
One for assumes it was Hyundai's option, not his. Their decision...
Lets face it, where else does ha have to go, and get paid OK?
I doubt Evans, Ogier, or Solberg would touch the Hyundai. It seems like it's a very specific car to drive and they'd risk spoiling their good reputations by getting poor results in it.
Even Loeb...
One can only dream that Subaru will one day be back in the top level of rallying...perfect sized car ready to go.

There are many, many questions around the future of M-Sport in WRC.. the new Regs, new Promoter, return on investment, Ford continuation, another OEM or even building their own car.
