    This isn't just a Hyundai phenomenon.

    He was the slowest polo by far for years until vw decided to pull out and he needed to find a new employer.

    Suddenly he woke up and started setting some decent pace, even winning his first rally.

    Something struck me now (I have been busy at work and I'm watching the stages a bit behind you guys).

    Does Neuvilles new co-driver read the notes in French or in flemmish? From what I remember, Neuville speak French, flemmish and German.

    If needed, he reads the notes in Neuvillesh.

    -3 to -4 degrees forecast tonight. All that rain in the area today will freeze on the roads, plus light snow on top. Should be exciting.

    Meaning?
    A mix of flemmish French and German?

    Nicolas read them in French only.

    Neuville is native German speaking. Learned French when started rallying for the Belgian national team. Gilsoul is French speaking. Wydaeghe is Dutch speaking.

    The notes are 100% french

    BS, Mikkelsen was clearly faster than Latvala in 2016.

    He won first rally in 2015, second in June 2016 and had contract until end of 2017.

    VW announced they will pull out at end of October 2016, so 12 months after he won first rally and 4 months after he won second.

    => Basically nothing that you wrote is true.

    Not to mention his 2nd place in C3 beating both teammates as well as Ogier.

    From what I remember he was gifted the first win due to something.

    I disagree that he was faster than Latvala. Latvala had a multitude of wins in the vw. Mikkelsen was consistently the slowest of the vw and often the only vw that the other teams managed to beat.
