Look at it the other way, perhaps neuville is the only driver who is good enough to make the shitty hyundai look good.

Better than Loeb?

No, not a chance.

If Loeb does drive it will only be late in the season.

Mexico roadbook. Interesting technical talk at 3.00 and Wilson holding his breath during Tänaks PS run at the end of the clip :D

All resources put into Tanak, only for the tinpot car to fail him anyway.....

M.Wilaon says the Puma is still being tweaked to suit Tanak's driving-style. Changes to the diffs and engine are coming but will need homologation (jokers).

i know its easy to judge from behind the computer not knowing the exact reasons but they need to take things more seriously with the cars durability

its understandable if something breaks during the stage but to have the car with problems already since they are leaving service is ridiculous, and too many problems also during the stages for both drivers during 4 rallies

On the other hand, it was good to see they have made progress with both cars performance wise since Monte, i mean Rally1 and Rally2

"At the moment, it feels like the car works well only in a certain small window, and it's still difficult to understand where exactly this sweet spot is," Tänak told reporters in the media zone that the car's settings have not yet been perfected.

According to the Estonian, however, it is so difficult to fight for the title: "So far, we have somehow managed to stay within reach, which is positive in itself, but I am quite sure that it will not last forever if we do not find the speed to fight with our competitors," explained Tänak.

How did you get to that conclusion when Ott finished in front of Neuville in 2 out of his 3 seasons at Hyundai?

Look at all seasons together and check who was leading the team when the Rally1 was still underdeveloped.

for me it is noble desire, puma will never be at the level of yaris or i20.
