... and Wilson is dreaming to get him back to M-Sport

This was exactly what was discussed when Tanak joined Hyundai for the 2020 season. Would Neuville let Tanak pass if Tanak's WDC even remotely depended on it. I guess you could find your answer in Dirtfish interview.
Such a shame for this 'team' and its leader.

A guy who got a call from Malcolm not to fight with Ogier during Spain in 17

got a call today from Korea not to push

Respecting the calls both times

In 2020 helped Hyundai to manufacture title while Thierry binned it in monza

And people are calling him a not a team player

Yeah he can be a arse inside the team as I have heard and nobody likes him. But so far he has respected the big decisions

i would not push it so far. i don't think nobody likes him, it seems unfair to me. i think it is just his approach, is not a bad guy.

Brynhildsen at 3.place?!

Also GB 2017 or 2018 when he let Ogier pass on PS. If im not mistaken

Rossel rolled and title hopes definitively over

Lappi also left Toyota for no reason? and returned after Tommi/Mia were sent away..

honestly yes, i think so, as i said before. i think his approach is more self-oriented (and again, rightly so).
of course, some cases you present are real (unless for 2020 that is too vague to me), but doesn't really mean that much if you put it in context when happened, like spain 17 or today. it's not like the championship is on the line today, right? we talk a lot about still a long shot...

e: still, to be clear, is not that much on today, than his generale behaviour, it's a bunch of things that make a team player, not just a tema order sometimes. of course that's from what i know from my limited point of view, i can be wrong for sure.

All top drivers are top drivers because they PERSONALLY want to get titles. They didn't do all their career for helping others. Is it Tänak, Neuville, Ogier, Rovanperä, Evans does not really matter.

Only exception can be clear 3rd car guy like Sordo, who took this role intentionally.

All the time you just need to keep in mind, for whom you are working for.
