I don`t blame. Cyril is smart enough to have a perspective view.

With Breen only contesting a part-programme this season, there's a potential this could be a deliberate move to help full-time driver Neuville net more drivers' championship points - although Hyundai has not confirmed this.

Most likely.

He's on a part-season and to support Neuville, so once the chance to win was gone it's understandable.

Breen team player

Hyundai put Breen under quite a pressure now.. he can't drive slow, because if Kalle attacks then taking 7s off of him isn't impossible and if so, then no podium for him and hyundai..

My mate George was on it yesterday...

Going into the final stage or on the way back to service. With only seconds between them will @HMSGOfficial call team orders and tell their part time driver @Craig_Breen to drop behind their No1 driver @thierryneuville to maximize his championship chances ?

Quite a dilemma. Nice one, in a sense.

Hope Rovanpera goes for it now with Breen the target.
