Neuville was allowed to win and take valuable 7 points from Tänak, then decided to crawl through PS and get 0 points from there. Absolutely idiotic waste of points.
still the point is which is the "correct action"...Quote:

It wouldn’t have made any difference in team points if they would have swapped and also PR WISEQuote:

Exactly, who would’ve thought back in Kenya that Hyundai would get a 1-2-3 in one of the tougher Acropolis’ rally, huge congrats to them & to all podium finishers.Quote:

Let's face it, it wasn't a great decision from Hyundai.With those 7 points you get the gap down to 45. Tanak only then needs to take 20 points off Rovanpera to put the pressure on the Finn for Japan. Regardless, from a team POV it changes nothing. Loubet and Breen salvaged something out of another catastrophe for Ford. A rally to forget for Toyota, eased off by Rovanpera saving some points in the PS. Special mention for Tsouloftas who made it Top 10 overall and 3rd in WRC2 in the old Polo.
exactly. it's the same also if u turn it around. if it's the same, why do it? it's already good without messing whit team order (never good for pr).Quote:

So, even additional tyre change before PS does not help.Quote:
