Similar to teammate Thierry Neuville's deal, the Spaniard's contract will expire at the end of the current season.

While Neuville has been rumoured to join Citroen next year, Sordo himself admitted he is in talks with another team as well as Hyundai, which is thought to be Toyota.

"At the moment I have some conversation with the team [Hyundai] and with another team so it looks good for the next year, we'll see," Sordo told Motorsport.com.

"At the moment it's a little bit early to say anything. The most important thing right now is to have the best rallies possible and to start negotiations after that.

"[I'll stay in WRC] if not in this team then another, I hope.

"Next year Toyota is also coming so there will be more cars and drivers will move a little bit more so it will be interesting."

Everything a "little better" on new car

With a couple of fourth- and sixth-place finishes, Sordo has enjoyed his best season start since he had joined Hyundai, as he currently sits fifth in the drivers' standings.

The 33-year-old praised the new Hyundai i20 introduced this year, highlighting the engine as one of the biggest improvements.

"Everything is a little bit better in the new car," he said. "The only big difference is the new engine, which is much better.

"The chassis is completely different, it's a longer car. In some fast places it's more stable than the car before but is less agile so when it's very twisty it's a little bit worse than before but we have much more interesting points, good points, than with the old car."

Rallycross is "not the same sensation"

Asked if he was tempted to switch to rallycross like former WRC rivals Sebastien Loeb and Petter Solberg, Sordo said he has a clear preference for rallying, as he feels driving on a circuit is not the same.

"For me rally is the top, maybe rallycross is good, but I always dreamed of rallying when I was little," said the Spaniard.

"I also like rallycross because it's a little bit same to rally but on a circuit and it's not the same sensation.

"Driving the car on a circuit is, I don't know, you feel you need something more."
