    This season resume for Mikklsen so far: He Vs his Hyundai.
    When he is on pace, driver happy = the car breaks;
    way behind everybody else, driver frustrated = car survives

    What tactics is the best?

    Let's see if Ogier can expand his advantage this afternoon.
    Ok - thanks for baling NOT out of having to be intelligent for once.
    Let me answer my own question. Some spin because they are driving too fast for their skill level, or they have crap notes, or they can’t adjust to less than ideal conditions. In a team where one driver consistently suffers technical problems that others do not you have to question the degree of mechanical sympathy that driver possesses.
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    They spun because the car had no drive anymore, 2nd gear was probably stripped and broke the gearbox in the end.

    Paddon must go to Citroen and make a restart to his career, he seems so lost in Hyundai and it doesnt seem to get better and FOR ME, it seems he doesnt get enough support from the team, participating only on half the rallies says something already

    But Citroen looks lost as hell, 9th-10th fastest in the stages...not looking too promising...
    Only you know your true potential.

    This new Hyundai, which was built for Neuville, doesnt suit to Paddons style.
