Yeah agree. Right now PR should be more important for M-Sport than standings.

I am afraid that Hyundai will not bother to continue such a troubled experiment for a long time and will simply step aside to maintain its last reputation. at best for a year, in other cases forever.
In respect for Loeb, nothing will change before last TC.
let's wait for the next one. i don't see it as so bad. they showed some good. no service didn't help (with midday service they could have a podium fight).
also, the costly tanak mistake didn't help, if not it could be in the mix...
let's see when the missing spare parts arrive.
I see as if they just didnt have enough time to iron out all the problems and produce enough spare parts.
The neuville damper ejection was a bit worrying though, as it indicates that they still havent managed to build a strong enough suspension mount... How that is possible for a top team in the world - i dont understand.
Another technical issues for Hyundai
What type of bandit operation would they look if Breen lost a championship by 3pts.
Granted that probably won't happen, but Msport need to maximise every opportunity for their lead driver. Especially when Tanak, Neuville and Evans have had horror shows.
2nd or 3rd is hardly going to make a world of difference in PR. They aren't denying Seb a famous win, he will still be on the podium and everyone will know he checked in late to help his team mate/ Msport.
Someone explained this to me a few years ago but I forgot.
What are the crossed out stickers on the back with what looks like a spiked tire for?
