One guy on autosport forum wrote this
“Salary apparently. Hyundai reduced the salary for Neuville, but he didn't want to reduce it for himself and so reduced the part going to Gilsoul.
Nothing official here, that's just what I heard/read from different people. “#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

I hope Nico Gilsoul gets another job soon. He seems a great guy from his WRC Backstories interview.

Could it be that Neuville has paid Gilsoul a fixed amount per year (rather than percentage) and once Hyundai - due to obvious Force Majeure, which still counts for 2021 in this case as the contract was signed way before Covid came around - has paid less to Thierry, he would have liked to cut Gilsoul's part as well? Anyway, to me it sounds like Neuville and Gilsoul had more like a handshake agreement rather than a written contract.

I don't see why Hyundai would suddenly pay less to neuville. He is still one of the very best drivers in the world and they managed to secure the constructors title.

I've heard also Gilsoul rally by rally because of covid and it was anyways 10 years of hard to work with Thierry so Nicolas didn't agree with the terms.

It is a job , like any other job if you are not happy with what you are getting paid for your services, and you can not find a solution then you have to move on. Everyone has "Bills" to pay.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
