    They all break with their left foot. But some, like Mikkelsen apparently, don't use it to set the car before or in a corner.

    Think they meant during the corner. Also was mentioned somewhere the he got it from Ogier.
    Ohh and Latvala mentioned something like that about "trying to copy Ogier's style" during end of 2016 which apparently didn't work for him.

    >apparently
    >6th place and nearly the end of his career

    When Latvala joined Toyota he revealed that the Yaris was a much better car for him in part because of the increased lower power the new cars have. He said the 2011-16 WRCs were weaker and required more precise and smoother driving, which is the opposite of how he drives.

    This ties into the Polo being developed by Ogier for Ogier, a very nosy driver. It might have been the quickest car, and Latvala might have taken two runner up places with it, but ultimately it wasn't fit for his style. On one hand, he became smoother and consequently a little quicker after his Polo stint, but on the other hand his attempts to copy Ogier's nosy style nearly drove him into the ground.

    Breaking with the left foot isn't "leftfootbreaking", it's breaking.

    Or braking.

    Breaking your left foot would hurt.

    Probably just something lost in translation here, no big deal, just hope Hyundai get the car and homologation papers right all the time.
    Hyundai to change the design of components in 2018. Holmes writing about Nandan's interview refers to this year's vehicle as a 2018 car.
    "I predict the 2018 cars will still be quite close to each other, like we had last year (2017)."

    Andreas' approach has been constructive and positive. Following the day of pre-event testing, we knew that the C3 WRC would need to be adapted to his driving style, which doesn't involve left-foot braking at all.

    look at the difference between Tänak vs Paddon

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ncOWqfUVs


    Tänak has quite a "straight" or nosy? style nowadays IMO, he used to be one of the flamboyant and agressive ones back in the day but not anymore...and i think thats also why he is so consistent now and doesnt have incidents. And this is not based alone on the video above.

    Correct me if i am wrong, im not an expert at all at this.
