What are your speculations, is every HWRT driver allowed to win on 2020? Or if for some reason e.g. Thierry or Ott would need to move forward in results, it is done right from the beginning of 2020?
there will be fireworks
Neither of the two would be willing to move away from the other I'm sure. Unless it comes to the end of the season and either is too far away to be able to win the title. It'll be interesting..

im definitely predicting that Neuville will be faster in the first rallies...he has been in the team since day 1 and knows the car. (i guess Ott gets to test it for like 2-3 days before Monte)
However, Ott with his knowledge from M-sport and Toyota and being a very good car developer will sort out the car sooner than later if it doesnt suit him in the beginning.
Lets not forget that Ott adapted to Toyota almost instantly and had great pace with it since Monte. I guess that adapting with Hyundai wouldnt be too bad also.
Meeke has also adapted to Toyota "instantly" so that's 2 out of 2 drivers.
While at Hyundai neither Loeb nor Mikkelsen could make the car work on tarmac even after 4+ rallies each. So that's 0/2.
Some challenge coming for Tanak on tarmac then. Unless they start fundamentally changing the tarmac car. Which is possible if the WC demands it.
I was thinking the same. All drivers have had great pace on Yaris from the first rallies they did with it. In contrast the tarmac pace difference of Mikkelsen and Loeb from C3 to i20 is alarming. And at the same time, Neuville can still win rallies with it.
