    I agree. He was in the best car by far and while no-one doubts his talent, at the top end of the game there isn't much to choose between the drivers.

    What annoys me is how Hyundai threw their weight behind him over and above Sordo and Paddon. Both very loyal to the brand and also very good performers. He has been very slow on the last two rallies.

    I really wonder what must be going through their minds as to what they do next year.

    And what do they do when both transmissions are broken?

    Bad luck for the driver and the team then. Probably get to use the third one wih a big time penalty.

    Well, Paddon has had a quite terrible two years now. This year he's the only factory driver yet without a podium.

    Not sure I'd want to have been stood there. Especially if the car snapped!
