    I'll use recommendation from Ostberg here... breath, guys, breath!

    If threre is problem with car, Tänak usually is not revealing it. Maybe only later. Comments from Adamo and Ott were a bit weird, but Adamo didn't have a chat with Tänak yet. It's more important, what is Adamo's opinion and attitude after chat.

    Last year Tänak got 0 points from Monte and probably they all have learned - if you don't know how many rallies you will have, you better bring home whatever amount of points compared to 0.

    Hyundai 2 slides (Tänak and Neuville) could ended up a bit worse also. So far it's relatively ok.

    Don't forget, Tänak didn't complete the event last year, Neuville has a new co-driver, and Dani hasn't done the Monte since 2018; so as some of you said, still early days.
    Only you know your true potential.

    Ott said yesterday, that the Pirelli tire worked well on a clean tarmac, but on muddy places he got many surprises. It takes your confidence away and that's it. Might be the combination of tires, differentials settings and stiffness which is not suiting him at the moment with dirty roads.

    Hyundai today is very different car than at end of 2019, takes just a few corners to see the massive difference. Last year when Loubet was running the 2019 spec you didn't even need a corner to see the difference a single braking was enough.

    The question is obviously how far has the development gone. Yesterday in more "stable" conditions Tanak got 2/2 stage wins, while in Monza he did not get a single one. Today with more tricky stuff it might be that Hyundais sensitivity to perfect settings comes into play.
    calm down! listen to mads suggestion! : ) i've put a huge smile to show that it was an ironic comment. just reach the second line and you'll find a more serious and equilibrated response. i think road position and tyres are playing a big role. that's all.
    also there's no doubt that current car is different to previous years, but maybe this change works well on some condition and less on other. as u more or less are also saying!

    Gerbox change for Neuville, presumably for different gear ratios.
