I think you're right; not all are equal - some RB athletes are backed by each country's 'importer' - others by the main RB house. There is a list on the RB website of athletes. As somebody who follows MTB, there's a large number of them in that sport. Similarly, in MXGP, which is a Monster Energy sponsored series.
It's unusual for athletes to switch between the big two; from memory Jonathan Rea was a RB athlete back in BSB, but there was a big gap between getting ME backing. I can't see Oliver switching at all; he's their main guy in the WRC, and even went over to the USA last month. It's not something I see happening.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

Basically said that Tänak was a cool guy and Neuville was a cruel team member, who pushed him down from the beginning. Harsh words to say in public.

Can't wait for Cyril to start to be team principal. They should do some Drive to survive or Hyundai team documentary next year.

so for his bad pace through the year ,Neuville was the reason?
i would be in ''silenced mode'' in his position,and i would focus in my driving and how i will progress.
Its unbelievable that he keeps mentioning Neuville/Hyundai with this attitude.
Petter must protect him,but i dont see that...Last edited by dimviii; 28th December 2022 at 19:35.

I'm curious to see how Oliver will do this season, I want to see how he'll react in the face of adversities, if he'll search for excuses etc.
I wish him the best, but ultimately a teammate you don't get along with can't do much to affect your results. In the car it's just you and your codriver vs the clock.

I agree with the first part of your post, but in most teams they have a lead driver who dictates the spec of the car to suit his driving style, the other drivers in the team have to try to adapt the driving style to suit the car,. Some drivers find it easier than others as it does not come natural , A car that understeers , or oversteers , they have very limited scope to adapt the Settings to change things to suit themselves. So that has a massive effect on any driver on a event if the car does not suit them.

So the i20's setting was based on Neuville's preference? No way to change the setup for Ott? Hyundai listened more Thierry that a former world champion?
Seems to me a bit strange...

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
