Tänak: about team orders "Nobody talked to me this morning, quite surprised about the management"
Something is boiling there.
Surpricingly weak management from Moncet.
So non rally1 drivers cant block rally1 for taking manufacturer points?
It's a tricky one, Tänak could end up with 159 points if they let him win, 44 points behind Kalle if he takes none, then it starts to be possible again. Problem is Neuville would be extremely mad I'm sure
In powerstage non-nominated driver will not score but scores won't extend beyond top five so they effectively do block. In overall classification same applies but manufacturer scores seep down until top two finishers of every team have scored.Quote:

I think Neuville doesnt concede orders.
Hyundai team is fu##ed, seems to be at a lowpoint her.
Neuville wont help Tänak, thats clear.
Fingers crossed that Neuville will do a mistake.

If you force Neuville to follow team orders, even I don't think it will be the case, you need to listen Neuville's whining rest of your life.
But if I remember correctly, Tänak did some team-play moves last year when he himself was out of the game already.
This (currently potential) Hyundai 1-2-3 podium can be quite electric :) The most epic victory for the team but quite intense relationship issues.
That podium will be awkward anyway...
Whoo, Neuville faster than Tänak (in first split). Collecting arguments for keeping the win :)
Tänak: "before the stage we were told to hold position, so no more pushing."
Is this for real? They´re fighting like nothing else matters!
Baby Neuville, needs team orders to get his worthless win.
I don't think Neuville needs team orders here. By pure speed Tänak could not get the win here.Quote:

Well, in Hyundai, there will a hot discussion; what a mess.
Virves has to up his speed finally, Armstrong took another 20 secs out of him
“It has never, ever happened in the history of Hyundai Motorsport and this would be absolutely a great result. Whatever comes next is a side topic.
this sentence yesterday by Moncet said it all to me that there wont be orders to let Ott through
taken from here https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/what-...lle-and-tanak/
So For Hyundai, satisfying one man ego is more important than to fight for the title. I think Tanak will leave Hyundai end of the year...
I sincerely hope that end of the season Tänak misses out of the title by 1-7 points.
Unfortunately, he has nowhere to go.Quote:

But "read between lines" feeling is that Hyundai is quite "team Neuville".
PS order
Rossel
Gryazin
Lindholm
Greensmith
Lappi
Rovanperä
Katsuta
Breen
Loubet
Sordo
Tänak
Neuville
Not a huge fan of the order.Quote:

All the more than the Power Stages WRC-2 points may have an important role in the title fight so the sweeping effect against Mikkelsen is not a gift
I watched SSS in Olympic Stadium, Bauxites and Pyrgos twice. I had a great time in the nature, Rally1 cars are awesome and I think generally the rally was good and the crowds were big.
Virves contained Armstrong in this one.
So it should be only about bringing the car home for Virves now.
Agreed. I also hoped they will at least bring Virves and Armstrong up to first starters. I mean we have championship deciding stage going on there.Quote:

I don’t blame Neuville, he wants to win and rightly so, but the team should step in here.
Madness if they don’t.
Their starting order difference is ca 1.5 h, a bit impossible, unfortunately :/Quote:

While it's a remote chance, you still have to make the decision. It's happened on numerous occasions in all types of series. It would be typical Hyundai to miss out on the title by a handful of points.......All it will prove is Neuville isn't a team player......Quote:

If no issue in the last one:
- Sordo, 3 podiums in 3 rallyes this season (and he is on a 5-podium streak taking into account end of last year); 54th podium in career to overtake Auriol and takes 9th all-time alone (and Neuville would achieve his 53th to tie Auriol for 10th position all-time). Ok, Sordo has the road position as he did only gravel rallies so far but with so low seat time and even an unreliable Hyundai at the beginning of the season, it’s pretty good.
- Katsuta, 9th consecutive top-6 finish this season and at least 100 points in 10 rallyes
Consistency
