And regarding mikkelsen. To be honest it seems to me it’s more him than the car. The guy just isn’t so adaptive IMO.
I don't get how you last part connects with rest. As you say on gravel it suits everyone in a way, though not on every single rally.Quote:

On tarmac neither Mikkelsen nor Loeb can go fast with it.
Anyway very good point on previous page that there are only 2 tarmac rallies next year. Germany is also kind of special with 90deg corners and hairpins and Panzerplatte with surface that seems to suit Hyundai.
he would have hired ogier in 2017 and hyundai would by now have 3 constructor titles and 2 driver titles.Quote:

It was Nandan who dropped Paddon and Sordo each for one rally at end of 2017 for Mikkelsen an ran both for half season in 2018. Similarly ut was him who kicked Paddon and hired Loeb at end of 2018.Quote:

what i meant was that on gravel the drivers do better than on tarmac.Quote:

Are Sordos and Neuvilles driving styles similar? Because Sordo is also fast with it in on both surfaces. But he has been also with the team since day1 so it can be that they both just understand better the car.
Starting position. Also, in Sardegna he made mistakes.Quote:
