Exactly, Loeb really does not want full season and will not drive for many years in either case. To win driver titles you need driver that drives whole season. Neuville is vey fast relative to others both in Hyundais and in other cars. 2nd fastest in fact.
Who else is there to replace Neuville that is faster than him? New guys like Hutunen or Rovanpera surely wont start with replacing Neuville on rallies.
