Surely he's making the point rather badly that the incident has always been rather hushed up, or at least barely acknowledged by the WRC right from the day it happened. They did a good job of burying that bad news...

Neuville will go all in for wins. No new quotes in the article really, says he hopes they can unlock some performance in the car.

the potato dog will just crash from now on... the car does not need any performance enchantment, it need proper drivers that will not crash on stupid super specials or when you have a 10 minute lead.

I do wonder how it will look like. So far this season Neuville has had quite a lot of close-calls and rarely got punished for them, most notably 2 big ones in Argentina. First run of power stage in Finland also comes to mind with at least 4 overshoots/close calls.

Wonder what kind of program he will have and if he really only plans to do rallycross.

In any case it is very likely he will get some tarmac/circuit training which is only positive. Way too many rallydrivers neglect tarmac early in their careers and later on just don't improve on it even when they focus on it. (recent examples Østberg and Paddon).

Rallycross is more for fun and to get used to more power they have said.

Suninen and Lappi started on karting and won Finnish Championships, but would you believe it based on their Rally Deutschland performances? Rallying on rough tarmac is a different sport.

Young Solberg competed in Estonia last weekend and accoring to the news they are planning to compete here on every rally next year.
