Agreed. This is where Abiteboul is going to earn his money keeping both Neuville and Tanak happy.

This is new, I know the chances of it happening are 0 or close to 0 but I would love seeing him tackle a round of the WRC with the (plug-in) hybrid Rally1 car.
One crash at a test rally and we are back at manufactured civil war at Hyundai. That's just silly.
Some fans are really craving for drama, Tanak agreed with Hyundai in Sardegna to not drive too risky and people were acting like this is giving up position to Neuville or something.Quote:

I’m just glad we still have Hyundai and as long as no one else enters (& even then), I hope they stay.Quote:

Anyway, Kalle's result in Poland can be sign that one more test or lack of it is not big deal.
If I were Hyundai I also would start as many cars as possible. But one car should always have a young driver, no matter what country he is from.
Every team that want's to win titels should start as many cars as possible.Quote:

Ott said this: This isn't something that can be just easily changed but rather a solution needs to be thought out. Adjusting the car's set up won't help. If the conditions are a bit variable, the car becomes very sensitive, making it especially difficult to drive on unfamiliar roads. In such cases, it's challenging for the driver to attack each curve with confidence
