Not really, the jungle drums have been beating fairly loudly for most of the season that it was a done deal. Best to nip in the bud and announce it. I don't think anyone seriously thought that DJR would wait until October to open negotiations with a driver who others were interested in signing. Think Pye did enough to justify retaining the drive, particularly after stepping up in the wake of the Ambrose debacle, but unfortunately loyalty and business often don't go hand in hand.
