Neuville vs Paddon is not an easy issue. Paddon comes from nowhere and must constantly (im)prove himself. Neuville jumped into the car as the "big star" which is supposed to win titles and respect just for his pay check amount and recent achievements. The reality is different though....

He ended 2011 IRC season on 5th place behind Mikkelsen, Kopecký, Hänninen and Loix. He did 10 events, Mikkelsen 11, Kopecký 10, Hänninen and Loix both only 8 but they still finished ahead. Though I have to admit that Škoda definitely had better car than Peugeot in that time.

It's true that Paddon is doing a great job, just like Neuville did back in 2012 as Citroen 3rd driver. The Belgium ’13 season with Ford was even more remarkable and his first year with Hyundai was also very positive. Why wasn't he able to progress during '15? What happened with him or with the team? Can he get back to his best? Will he be able to do it with Hyundai? Maybe only after knowing the answer to these questions we can make a fair judgment on Neuville's current situation. It’s too soon to call him the new Duval.
Btw, many tend to forget that Paddon started a regular WRC career before Neuville, on PWRC field. For sure since 2012 Neuville was able to progress much more quickly, but the talented Kiwi is far from being a newcomer.Last edited by Rally Power; 12th March 2016 at 03:12.
