Yes, definitely!
I have to admit I missed them since the season started in Monte-Carlo, I miss their beautiful liveries, I miss their stupid, slow developed and unreliable car (and the way they won each of their 5 events with the C3), and I miss having more drivers fighting it out for the championship in different teams (and not like it is now with 2 teams fighting and another one struggling just to stay there). However, because of the Corona situation at least we're not having to miss them through 13 rounds, with the way this year has gone having only 6 events and most of them being less than 300 kms. Hope they or another PSA group manufacturer or any other manufacturer for that matter will come back any time after 2022. It feels as if it takes some of the joy in rallying (having less competitors and one less manufacturer).
It's true you don't know if he will continue with this pace, but that's the same at the end of any season. If the championship would have ended at 2/3 of the season (for any reason), Neuville would have been a worthy champion too at that point. On the events covered, Evans was the best, by far, the points prove it.

Petter also had quite packed pace notes like that; overall it's a lot of information, called early and very quickly strung together, but it's not the worst I've heard. Meeke's pace notes, for instance, were for me the reason he was so crash-prone.
Then again, drivers like Sainz with Moya had unintelligible gibberish pacenotes and that worked for him.
Again I'm bringing up Kalle, but an interesting fact about their pace notes is that Jonne reads the note much earlier than most co-drivers (of course this is how the driver wants it to be read). It's like Kalle wants to get a picture in his head of how the road will proceed after the current corner, and can hold longer pieces in his short time memory.
