Hehe Cyril is definitely a character, love him or hate him i think his appointment is good for Hyundai and even WRC itself. Also I believe that in that role lack of WRC experience is not that critical, he would be primarily a man manager anyway, if he can put the right team together they can bring the experience.

Guy with zero rally experience put to team principal spot basically one month before new season starts doesn't sound too promising, but let's see.
(and maybe he was Neuville's preference as being French.. dnno)

Hyundai is already on the circuits with TCR and ETCR :P Only place they could go is WEC/IMSA but they decided against it, there are no rumors of that at the moment.
EDIT: nevermind here are the rumors: https://the-race.com/formula-1/could...-to-formula-1/Last edited by seb_sh; 7th December 2022 at 12:37. Reason: rumors

Yup it's speculated for some time that Hyundai is looking to join F1.
But I don't see it as very realistic thing. Looking into 2026, there is only two "independent" teams that could be sold - HAAS and Williams, and maybe AT.
Imo the first two teams won't be sold anytime soon, as Gene Haas declined to sell the team few times already, and Williams are in hands of investment fund. But Haas is probably down to partnership on similar level as Mclaren - Mercedes or Lotus - Renault in the past.
Still, we know for sure that Porsche and Honda wants to join F1, as well as Andretti. There are also speculations about Hyundai and even about Ford (which is imo more like fans' wish). That's 4 teams to 1, maybe 2 slots.
And it would take a looot of money and lobbing for completely new team to join.

Latvala already said for 2025-2026 they should just take the hybrids out.
