Be fair, Dirtfish just quote Matt Wilson in that article and dont comment on his statements about how the new Puma performed and how it felt.
And we all want news and info about the latest cars and we should be glad M-Sport are being so open with their testing and speaking to the media.

By the way, when are we going to get any more from Hyundai and Adamo about their 2022 car ? They cant test it totally at their own secret facility.

More from Fourmaux:
“Really, I can take a lot of pleasure from driving this [Puma Rally1]. When you have the full hybrid, the car feels incredible – so much pace.
“I am still learning a little bit with the hybrid, like the other drivers, but it’s really interesting to work on the strategy and to play a little bit with when you are going to use it. It’s really something new and another interesting challenge for next season.”

Sounds like a small boy when they take his favourite toy from him..
Sure the new cars are likely slower and harder to drive/turn and change gears in.
But while the current cars saw great competition in 2017-2019 they also led to the reduction of WRC to two competetive teams and kept Skoda from entering even though they were about to.
So to stay alive WRC simply had to change.

IDK about you guys but Im still not buying that WRC has only 2 (+ford) manufacturers because of the costs or because they are not "green enough"... but the "solutions" would probably kill what WRC is all about

Scenery is nice, but Rally2's on these type of roads aren't that interesting to watch at least
