Hyundai WRT

@OttTanak: "Obviously we know what we need to do, we just need to start doing it. The potential is there..."

Let's clear this one out.

Tänak stayed in the team to develop new car BUT there have not been any development of the car. Just delayed decisions and some last-minute emergency solutions.

He has been driving various prototypes since mid 2021.
Those prototypes looked different than what they entered Monte with. (Also there was quite some talk here with various sources on how the new car is "being made for him").

= There has been development. Maybe not enough, maybe too late, maybe in wrong direction.

Anyway I partly don't get the drama, compared with Puma there doesn't seem to be much difference (even taking Breen vs Tanak/Neuville into account) both in speed and reliability.

Toyota is better and Kalle is on a great form, so what. In 2018 and 2019 it was similar for Ogier.

You mean, please don't pull the plug after this year, although after Estonia I'm guessing it's (even) harder for them to justify it for the board above.

Wow this will solve everything right?
They already have a team manager.

No it does not solve everything but if you have ever worked in big corporations where there are multiple departments doing their own for one common goal, you know how important leadership and pulling all things together for one common goal is.

Tänak and Neuville have both multiples times hinted or even outright said that the leadership is working, that they need a real team manager leading things and also hinted that Moncet is not the man for that.

It does not fix everything but it sure would be a good start.

What rumours?

Service park rumours.

I'm sure Dirtfish will report them in the coming weeks unless they're paid off to shut up by Hyundai.

Well there were also rumors Tanak would retire before this year and we saw how that went. Let's see, I hope Hyundai gets their act together and don't retire that would kind of kill the WRC.
