Anglický překlad norského článku z Parc Ferme, kde je popsáno neuskutečněné angažmá Mikkelsena u Hyundai

The future in Skoda is uncertain for Andreas after the Hyundai mess - We are working on the matter, says the rally profile with an optimistic undertone.

RALLY: It was earlier this autumn that Parc Fermé could reveal that Andreas Mikkelsen had almost felt cheated by Hyundai's factory team in the Rally WC with a view to a contract for next season. The Oslo man claimed to have received the go-ahead for a minimum of six races, that the draft of the contract had been fully approved and that only one signature was missing. Suddenly, Hyundai is said to have turned on the run-up side and chosen another. Subsequently, it has become known that Hyundai has signed Craig Breen and Esapekka Lappi alongside their regular duo over many years, Thierry Neuville and Dani Sordo. Parc Fermé presented the criticism to Hyundai Motorsport, but they themselves did not want to comment on Mikkelsen's experience.

In any case, this has now had worse repercussions than before for Mikkelsen. Because even though he and Skoda have had an open dialogue about his position in the rally circus and what opportunities he must seize if they arise in the top class, the open dialogue has probably struck a small blow to Mikkelsen's face. Because both Mikkelsen and Skoda were so sure that the Hyundai deal was in the works that Skoda instead implemented plan B with other drivers. And then it has become a bit more difficult for Mikkelsen to turn around and stand in the doorway with his hat in hand again. - Yes, everyone was sure that I was going to Hyundai next year and everyone made plans for it. So when that didn't happen, new solutions had to be worked on, says Mikkelsen to Parc Fermé. Nothing is nailed down A Norwegian wishful thinking is to link him up to M-Sport, who recently signed Ott Tänak as their clear first driver for next season after they parted ways with Breen a year early. Formally, two places are still available. M-Sport, which has minimal factory support from Ford, is primarily dependent on drivers who have their own sponsors and their own budget - while Mikkelsen, for his part, does not want to end up in this booth of so-called paid drivers. Therefore, the probability preponderance has been on Skoda and their high-stakes customer team Toksport WRT, until it is now clear that there appears to be little room for him. They already have WRC 2 champion Emil Lindholm and Russian Nikolay Gryazin on the team, and a number of other drivers are also knocking on the door of Toksport WRT, who are also happy to have their own funds. - Right now, nothing is nailed down. I'm working on next year, but I don't know if it will be in a Skoda or something else, he says.
