My opinion will be unpopular but imho if that's true both Hyundai and Loeb made a mistake.
Can you explain that further? I think it's a win-win situation. Loeb gets some WRC drives (which Citroen couldn't offer, nor would Toyota, not to mention M-Sport) and Hyundai gets crucial support in winning the manufacturers title.
Oscar Piastri tops red-flagged Miami GP practice as Lando Norris faces two trips to the stewards.
Piastri comfortably led the way with a time of 1:27.128s, more than three-tenths of a second faster...
The way I see it is: could Prodrive tune/race cars other than Subaru? Yes. M-Sport other than Ford? Yes. MSD other than Hyundai? Yes (I don't know if they did).
But could Ralliart tune/race cars...
