    Could be the cause of some of his issues if these shiotty rumors are indeed true.
    He has a new GF now, a beautiful Italian co-driver Maddalena Mureddu

    Btw, how can you be so sure the i20 was developed around Neuville? He actually was the last one testing it, only after extending his contract in October 2016.
    I am not blaming Neuville alone. I said that part of the blame lies with him. At the end of the day he has been in comfortable positions and thrown them away. Paddon has had an extremely difficult year for all the very well known reasons. And there has been some technical problems too, so it's not one person alone at fault. But certainly I don't believe the people who say it's Neuvilles team mates that caused Hyundai to not win the championship this year.

    Nandan said ''if'' the team recognize that the car is fragile, then they don't deserve the title and that they will work even more to improve...

    It's neither necessary nor appropriate to discuss someone's private issues on this public forum. If personal matters are effecting performances it is sufficient just to say that.
    Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

    I consider Nandan to be a clever operator and I imagine that he is well aware that the car hasn't delivered the reliability that they needed to win the title. He'll also know that drivers capable of winning at this level will have volatile personalities and they will have peaks and troughs in their performances. He will further know that Paddon, alongside Neuville and Mikkelsen, is one of the few drivers with the genuine pace capable of winning events ... and therefore titles.

    The first one is in no way guarantee for the second part for like 95% of drivers.
    For some it's actually quite the opposite, they can't win title cause they charge too much and don't settle for 3-4th when they don't have pace to win.

    If you are capable of winning events you are capable of winning titles. What you're talking about is something other than capability.
