I think Hyundai need to build a new car before 2021, this don't work.
Let Loeb, Tänak, maybe Sordo, Mikkelsen and Paddon too, do the development work, and for god's sake, keep Neuville out of the cars development. When drivers like Loeb, Tänak, Mikkelsen etc dont get a decent grip on the car, not even the one that the car is build for is blistering fast in it, its on time to do radical changes.

Yes, Get Hayden onboard quickly as aside from a very quick rally driver he is a very good development engineer and personally can build competitive carsQuote:

So a 9 time WDC wasn't enough, it was the newest WDC that got the trust to change the shitundai?
I really don't understand Adamo, he don't "trust" Paddon or Mikkelsen, obvious not Loeb or Sordo eighter, why the f..k do he trust Neuville?
His car is shit, when Tänak can change the car, probably both Mikkelsen and Paddon can be fast in it, maybe fast enough for Adamo to...
But they will never get the chance, probably.

So from pure speed, I would say Hyundai was the fastest. Now what Tänak is saying to them is that you have speed, but we have to make it more predictable, so you would gave full confidence for pushing on the stages and all conditions.
Maybe Adamo thinks that, if Neuville is fast with i20, so should others be? But this car seems to suit only for Neuville, who hasn't driven other cars than i20 in the recent years, and because of that, Neuville doesn't have much information to compare to. Hyundai has put all the cards on Neuville and others, who have problems with it, have to go?
Maybe it is also about, how the problems are brought out to Adamo - in the last interview, Adamo referred to Tänak and Neuville as the ones, who didn't whine about the car, but who just brought out the problems and offered some kind of solutions to fix them. But i think that, Paddon, Mikkelsen etc weren't also whiners and could offer proper feedback. Difficult situation.
