If Tänak wants to switch teams, his salary is last thing that should stop him.
Underdeveloped car will be bigger issue.
By how hyundai put team order it's more than obvious that he have a new contract with team, mostly it should be m-sport by the main news what milner was putted on breen telling them show the result is signal that they ready to fire him.
Breen has a 2-year contract and they couldnt afford to pay him off and also pay to hire someone else.
Re Tanak, he has to say he's not happy with the team orders, but I'm sure he understands the teams reasons. Plus Neuville's morale also had to be considered after going so long without a win...
Yes. You could say about every rally "Loeb would be better in here" but he won't do more than this.Quote:

if i where teamboss at M-Sport i would leave Formaux and Breen at home and send just Loubet and Greensmith to NewZealandQuote:

Loeb said it before that the Puma suits his driving style. Hyundai didn't. C3 did on tarmac in 2018, before the big changes.
Could it be the opposite case with Breen? Breen was struggling with C3, especially when it was best on tarmac 2017-2018 (note for example 3 spins and bad times in Spain 2018 while Loeb won the race). Did comparably better with i20 and now it's back to struggling. Crashing is one thing, but the times are worse than in i20 especially compared with Loeb.
Well thought, but then again Breen and Loeb never did the same events in i20. The only shared event in C3 was Catalunya 2018.
