If Hyundai pays Neuvile he will go there and he will do the right thing for himself.
It is obvious you have never driven a rally car and you have never paid thousands of euros to get 5 extra bhp or find the best set-up for your suspension. If you think that there is one rally driver on earth that puts money above being competitive, I suggest you change sport. Chasing money is a very low level activity. Let bankers, politicians and other reptiles do it. Rally drivers are not that low.

Definately the temptation is heavy!
Interesting what a change in his status has occurred this year. Hanninen as no 2? or will they use a string of no. 2s?
Nandan himself has said in interview on iRally that they will have probably more than 2 drivers next year, so I guess they will use maybe 2 or 3 drivers as no. 2

Ogier left because of the Loeb/Quesnel/Citroen feud... nothing to do with money/performance.
Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part II)
what left? I am talking about decision to stay in 2011
