Neuville has been slower than everyone else year, never really had the pace.

The package (non-hybrid car, tires etc.) just didn't come together for him this year.

Neuville could have been one of the greatest if he wasn't so incredibly stupid to stay with Hyundai his entire carreer.

Yeah, but he still is, he is a WDC and has many wins, podiums and all great stats

Neuville had too many "small" issues in every rally. You never win if you get stupid mistakes, loosing seconds on each and every stage.

Burns 2002 was worse than Makinen 2000, and he was driving the best car.

My apologies! It was just the first one that came to my mind. Didn’t check the statistics but yeah in that sense it wasn’t that bad

I think, he has a massive dominance in the team compare to Tanak or Fourmaux and he is enjoying it.

So Ogier is on the stage but still interwievs on RallyTV. No action.

rally.tv is in a twist. I saw Pajari's stage end time on ewrc well before he crossed the line on the video.
