    It's weak management....Strong management would take the correct action and not worry about upsetting drivers. All successful teams in motorsport will have to make these decisions occasionally.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Okay, the Powestage made the whole Hyundai beef even more stupid.

    Neuville was allowed to win and take valuable 7 points from Tänak, then decided to crawl through PS and get 0 points from there. Absolutely idiotic waste of points.

    still the point is which is the "correct action"...
    it's really what tanak declared: driver championship vs team other interest (manu's champ, pr, brand identity)
    and hiunday clearly - and historically - is on the team over drivers side.

    It wouldn’t have made any difference in team points if they would have swapped and also PR WISE

    Still 1-2-3

    Exactly, who would’ve thought back in Kenya that Hyundai would get a 1-2-3 in one of the tougher Acropolis’ rally, huge congrats to them & to all podium finishers.
    Only you know your true potential.

    Probably didn't want to risk it and it's drama anyways either it's unhappy Tänak or Neuville and all that aside Thierry deserved it.

    Let's face it, it wasn't a great decision from Hyundai.With those 7 points you get the gap down to 45. Tanak only then needs to take 20 points off Rovanpera to put the pressure on the Finn for Japan. Regardless, from a team POV it changes nothing. Loubet and Breen salvaged something out of another catastrophe for Ford. A rally to forget for Toyota, eased off by Rovanpera saving some points in the PS. Special mention for Tsouloftas who made it Top 10 overall and 3rd in WRC2 in the old Polo.

    exactly. it's the same also if u turn it around. if it's the same, why do it? it's already good without messing whit team order (never good for pr).

    Tänak Ott - Järveoja Martin
    "If you want to fight for a championship, the decision to have no team orders was wrong. If you want to have good PR, it's a good decision"

    So, even additional tyre change before PS does not help.

    Because to put pressure to Toyota and Kalle and still have a chance for the title

    But it is what it is. It’s over and done now
