A few of my pics. I'm new to photography but they didn't turn out too bad.

I've seen some of the best recent rally photos from this rally - great action in the dust and spectacular scenery behind it. Great stuff.

“I wasn’t really in the fight on this rally,” Neuville said. “It was not so easy – I never seemed to be on the right tyres and driving the car when we had no grip was not so much fun.
“For the differential problem, it was not 100 per cent [fixed], but I tried some new things to get some good feedback. We went with some different ramps in the diff. OK, you don’t go from black to white, it’s about [the compromise] with grip and stability, but I think we made progress.”
On the specifics of the test, Neuville added: “We had three days of rain and, obviously, the car was too soft [after the test]. We tested before Portugal and maybe that was a mistake – the temperature was definitely not the same, around 12 degrees and the road conditions were completely different.”
Because of those conditions close to Olbia, Neuville wasn’t able to run Michelin’s hard tyre which was used for half of the time during the rally.
Hyundai Motorsport director Andrea Adamo accepted the test wasn’t ideal, but added there was no other option.
Adamo said: “You can do mistakes if you have alternatives, if you have the chance to choose. For us it was not possible to test between the rallies. If there’s no alternative then you just take the best out of what is available. That’s the maximum you can do.”

Yes according to what Loeb said Neuville and Loeb/Mikkelsen were running new diffs on the two rallies while Sordo had the old one.
Sordo was definitely by far fastest on Saturday in Sardinia. Strange thing is that Neuville was faster than Sordo on Saturday in Portugal with same road position as him and with similar temperatures s in Sardinia.

Loeb and Neuville in Portugal were running the newly homologated diff that Mikkelsen and Neuville, "validated" on the wet test that was 5-6 days after Chile (a week before Portugal). This is the test mentioned in the interview that you quoted.
Loeb didn't do any test of it. Neuville did and it seemed to work for him in Portugal but not in Sardinia. It didn't seem to work for Loeb in Portugal and not really for Mikkelsen until Sunday in Sardinia either.
Sordo was seemingly running old diff on both rallies.

Today without bigger drama for Rally1, so expecting tomorrow lot of retirements maybe, because there is NEVER rally without issues. Let's see guys, favorizing Ogier for the win probably, depends on...
