I don't understand Hyundai/Adamo's "need" for Neuville? He won't win WC ever, seems like a not very nice person (based on comments) do mistakes over and over again.
He has contract for 2021?

Neuville is one of the fastest drivers and for sure helped Hyundai get the manufacturer title last year (and if they get it this year, helped in that as well). I don't think he made many mistakes this year until this rally?

The list of Neuville's mistakes under pressure is getting quite long though, basically every single year since 2017 (4 years) he does (multiple) mistakes under pressure that ultimately cost him the title.
2017 - Germany, Spain
2018 - 2 mistakes in Australia
2019 - Turkey
2020 - 2 mistakes here (actually 3, counting the small one on Friday), plus Estonia
I am starting to agree with the people that call him "forever 2nd one"
For sure Adamo has no reason right now not to keep him, but he needs to make sure the cars fits both him and Tanak.
Speaking about Tanak he is still struggling a bit with it on tarmac (as witnessed by never being better than 3rd on stage here).Last edited by mknight; 5th December 2020 at 17:25.

Just tell me who would be better than Neuville? Even Loeb struggled occasionally in the car

Of course he has a contract. If a driver has a mathematical chance of winning the drivers title by the last round or second to last, it means that he's providing a great amount of points for the manufacturers title. Something other drivers, like Mikkelsen, couldn't provide.
