A joy to watch as always.
I was thinking last night, same as Sesks was driving in Poland with a weaker car made his debut more impressive. By same logic we should tip our hats to Paddon for the same reason, he is driving so much sh*ittier car and still can be competitive in ERC
By that logic the Hyundais were always fine and Tänak was just needlessly moaning that the car wasn't to his liking?Quote:

Is this true? Man those crying babies can destroy the sport even before they will try to fix it. And they demanded so much lately...
Hyundai leaving WRC is monthly gossip for last few years and so far nothing comes from it.
Hyundai's involvement in WEC doesn't mean they for sure will leave WRC, they are bigger company than they were ~10-20 years ago.
It's not just WEC though; IMSA in North America is a popular series, and their US brand, Genesis is likely to be used. If they've got any sense, they'll pull the WRC effort, it's not bringing anything anymore.
nice try ThierryQuote:

Second point is that if Neuville gets a little bit faster it likely won't matter much anyway since he will still be 5-6th with his road position, while Lappi can score big for manus.
Anyway the withdrawal is 100% due to Tanak crash, so the atmosphere at Hyundai just turned up a notch.
