    If you compare his 2010 season with Klinger and his 2011 season with Gilsoul, there is a big difference, both in speed and reliability. If course, he had more experience too, but I do think he really started to impress when he started driving with Gilsoul.

    co drivers are nothing compared to the drivers when actual results are compared...
    In therms of pure speed it might be even less, but those few percents actually make difference between good result and no result at all.

    RallyFan - a glass of Champagne for everyone please
    Barman - something special to celebrate ?
    RallyFan - Champagne for a Champagne memory
    Barman - Explain, I do not understand
    Rallfan - 20 years ago today Seb Loeb & Daniel Elena finished their first event together. It was the 1998 Rallye Epernay Vins de Champagne 1998. They won their class. So Champagne to celebrate a class act winning their class in Champagne
    Barman - A vote santé

For Neuville there was a turning point in his career when he started working with Nicolas Gilsoul, Neuville would likely not be in the WRC now without Gilsoul. If codrivers were so unimportant as you say, there would be far more switches I think. Recently there are some drivers in WRC who switched codrivers, but most were already very reliable drivers with a lot of experience (Sordo, Ostberg, Mikkelsen).
    However putting numbers on a certain answer makes for the receiver of the message easier to understand and from the giver of answer to tell what he means. Nothing wrong with that in this case either.
    I would say 20% is maybe too much.
    The discussion overall I find it a bit ridiculous.

    Barman! Beer for everyone. It´s on me.

    Small correction: that's not Argentina, that was in Paraguay.
