Fanbloodytastic, simply simply outstanding.
That was one hell of a drive through that last stage! Legend.
This is a proper win and not a 'Gimme'. Hope the confidence he gets from this will mean we get lots of Sundays like this for the rest of the year.
Well done Haydon and John - a that hard work has paid off!
Delicious !!!!

. @rallyargentina provides another classic! Congrats @HaydenPaddon and @JKCoDriver on your maiden win. That was a proper one! #chapeau
Congrats to hayden and hyundai!
Quite fun that this Ole he is thanking in the stage end intervju with Molly, is our own lundefaret and his "nose end first" thing.
Thats something :)
Thats winning in style too, coming into the last stage with a fairly tight margin and destroying everyone by 11+ seconds.
"I almost can't believe it. I gave that stage absolutely everything! Huge thanks to everyone - and especially people following at home in New Zealand. I've been preparing for this stage for three weeks. In the past the tight and twisty stuff really didn't suit me. I didn't think we had a chance - today I just drove the wheels off. We're going to win a lot more with this car."
How would Neuville feel? :D
“Can’t believe it! Drove the wheels off the car. Huge amount of work has gone into this - and there’s more to come!”
Awesome, truly awesome.
4.00am in New Zealand and facebook has gone made as those who made it through the night celebrate

GO PADDON !!!! GO HYUNDAI !!!!
Neither that interesting not exciting as Padon's victory but notice that the only Pug R5 in the rally finished without major technical problems. That's quite an unusual thing.

Hayden's co-driver gives his verdict. "Stunning. Hayden will be a World Rally Champion."
It's been a long time since a victory felt so sweet :)
Cool of him giving creds to the Nose End First guy from Norway, Ole Martin Lundefaret :)
Aw no, he knocked Mads down to 3rd in the WDC... ;)
Congrats coming in from every driver / team... except Ogier...
Its quite true :)
We have been working very hard together since just after Sweden, but I am not going to steal his thunder, he is an extremly commited and highly intelligent individual, and this have moved on A LOT faster that I tought possible.
Mexico was introduction, Otago we worked on a number of things, and this is the first rally we wanted to push a little. We focused VERY hard on El Condor, and i mean VERY hard.
But I must say, his driving on El Condor just blew my mind, he is just incredible! :)
And hopefully I will enjoy working with him a lot in the future.
But I must say, a BIG, BIG thanks to Olav Bodilsen who spent over 4 years tutoring me in this. I dont even know half of what he does, so thanks Olav :)

Congrats @HaydenPaddon & @JKCoDriver ! Fantastic drive! Nobody can take this away from you.You really earned it! #NewGenerationIsComing #WRC
4:20am in NZ now, I think its time for bed! Glad its a holiday and I can sleep in, but that was worth staying up to see.
Hyundai with 3 cars in the top 6 - VW have a fight for constructors championship at last if Thierry can find that lost mojo
