Is this a wrong approach from Makinen or not?

this question is not particularly to mknight,but for everyone.

Imho it was a wrong approach.
It clearly reflects different approach. Hyundai with Adamo will do everything possible to win, everything. (buy Tanak, rotate drivers, kick drivers every 6 months...).
VW also had a "full commitment" approach though not nearly on the Hyundai level.

Toyota (= Makinen) has more "gentlemens" approach of how it is usually done. "All drivers do full season" (when asked 2 years back) and again reflected this year in Sweden when they let Kalle take points off Ogier.

In long term Hyundai should be more successful.
