I think Malcolm has already found his next project in Romet Jurgenson. I expect to see him as one of msport 2 drivers in 2027 season. Will be interesting to see what schedule Malc gives him in 2026.

Do we know if M-Sport has any sort of contractual hold on Sesks? I had the impression that there are no ties, he rents a car when he can get the money together.

If he got an offer from Hyundai, which seems plausible, I imagine he would be able to take it. Do we know anything to the contrary?

Maybe there's a small "percentage of future earnings deal", but he hasn't driven for them that much so they shouldn't have too many hooks in him.

Even contracts can get canceled. I think that in Adrien's case was some sort of "selling" the driver to richer team, while Sesks was there mostly because of help of Promoter and various other sponsors, so I don't think he is some sort tied up to them... But all that is just speculation.. And again, contracts can be canceled anytime. Even if M-Sport would hold him in any way, believe me, they couldn't match richer teams offer.

Hayden Paddon the third of the drivers to fill the third car?

Good for him if so. Just reward for loyalty to the brand - even if it certainly wasn't reciprocated from Germany.....

One would imagine the Promoter would have some kind of deal to get their money back if he starts earning.

As much as many of us want to see him back, I don't see a point putting him in a Rally1 car for just one season, since the car will be discontinued anyway and Hyundai not even building WRC27 car. Better stick with Rally2 car, which he drives practicaly daily and achieve great sucess with it.. And then when the rules come, he should be their official driver.
