Amazing... why leave this so late for Monte? Would be nice to hear some words from Thierry why.

Amazing... why leave this so late for Monte? Would be nice to hear some words from Thierry why.
Without a good explanation it seems and feels a bit ugly move from Neuville side. (as Gilsoul's reactions shows that it is surprise for him as well).
Something has clearly happened, as this wasn't planned.
Wonder if we will ever get the real reasons.....
Money and money...?
how? don't think neuville is deciding on gilsoul money, and anyway contract would have been decided before testing i assume.
To me it seems more on personal side, as reported as neuville only decision...
seems they tested together last week, without any reported issue...
A Belgian fan is saying on Facebook Neuville did not want to continue to pay 2500€/month for Nicolas, which if true is incredibly petty and embarassing for someone on a multi-million euro contract a year.
Just baffling timing. If the relationship was starting to strain and Thierry was having big doubts, you make the change a few weeks after Monza, and certainly before the recent testing. Even just try a few tests with a different co driver and see how it goes.
To do it now out of nowhere is bizarre.
