And after repeating the loop: 20.5s ahead of Munster, 40.3s behind Fourmaux, 88.9s behind the lead.

So he took 29 seconds out of Munster. He took 5 seconds out of Fourmaux, who (I think) had a better afternoon than morning. But Rovanpera is in boss mode.

He was caught in a Seb era. Just like Latvala and Hirvonen previously. These too was just unbeatable at the time. And he was still developing, I think... But right now he is still ONLY one that can actually finish the rally. Sordo is quite reliable and should be still beside... But soon the time will come when all those older ones will need to step away, even Ogier and make way for younger ones... I'm more and more convinced, that this type of cars does suit better to younger ones on their debuts.

He was the No.1 driver in Hyundai for 11 years. All the team has been working for him for more than a decade. The success is a team work and he was the leading person in the team for all the time. Definitely he must have had a lot of influence on the car design as well.

Some drivers are better at developing a car than others, on the other hand drivers are usually neither designers nor engineers. Didn't Neuville already say that the big handbrake usage in his driving style is not "his own", but rather he started using it because of how the car handles? Could be that Neuville is not good at developing, could be that Hyundai wasn't able to deliver the car its drivers asked for.

Could be. I'm just saying that he has been the pivotal person in Hyundai for over a decade. The principals changed, the managers changed, the engineers changed, yet we somehow keep saying the same things about their cars all the time.
