When he has no chance to gain positions he is logically preserving tyres to take the PS. The performance on other stages doesn't have much to do with his speed IMO.

Only 20 crews passed all stages in Sardegna and finished the rally without superally...
Great win for Neuville, shame Hyundai keep choosing the wrong drivers for manufacturers points, but this win was out of nowhere so can't really blame them.
Personally hate the two team role, just allow teams to run 3 cars with the top two scoring manufacturers pts.
Camilli also impressed again, he's got no experience whatsoever really compared to other drivers but seems to be a quick learner and must have natural talent. If he continues to improve I guess MW deserves a lot of praise for putting his belief and money into him. Clearly a long term move

Just heard Hyundai have failed post event , don't know what for yet !!!!!
Had a txt from a guy over there
It's not confirmed yet and no idea what the problem is and what car number it is, the car is being held at post event at the minute ,hopefully the problem is just interpretation of homolagation and can be cleared up.
Or maybe the results show how much the psychic pressure means. Actually I don't believe that it's some kind of accident that we have three consecutive winners who all had not been nominated on points or don't do the whole season so don't care about points (Meeke).
Agree. I would personally go even further with the formula which worked well in IRC on its peak. Whatever driver with a car of the particular brand takes manufacturer points if he's good enough. In that time it helped a lot of privateers or juniors to get good machines and support from the manufacturers. It's the WRC what benefits from that now as guys like Neuville or Mikkelsen would hardly be where they are now.
Agree. Fingers crossed to continue his progress.
