Hayden Paddon

[dimviii]

Also it may have stemmed from Neuvilles comments about wanting a stronger team than Hayden and Sordo around him I believe here http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116343

all the interview is lolzzz

The interview is over a year old.

Congrates on being able to read a date and missing the point of the link, discussing where why and if there bad blood between them,

ss22 onboard tells it all on the PAadon Neuville relationship, especially Kennards comments at 7:35 haha

I don't think there's any doubt at all they don't get on. Nice to have a bit of rivalry and needle back in the WRC at least. It is sorely missing drama, personalities and these kind of storylines.

Nice to have a bit of rivalry ...

I don't know that "rivalry" would be an accurate way to describe what's happening here.
If there's bad blood here it'll one directional only.

I wouldn't describe it as bad blood - bad blood indicates one of them has done something to the other which I don't think is the case. It seems from everything I have read Dani has helped Hayden and they seem to put aside their driving rivalry and respect each other. I get the feeling with Thierry that he is a prima donna (I didn't used to think this and it seems only in the last 6 months it seems to be like that). He hides behind the Number 1 driver status and probably gets preferential treatment within the team and sees himself on the same level as Ogier.

Hayden let himself down with his comments at the stage end and if there wasn't much of a problem before there will be one now I think.

Rivalry is good. It means the strongest survive. What I love about what is happening at Hyundai is they are now treating Hayden as a genuine competitor to Dani and Thierry. In his twitter interview someone asked about which team he will be in next year and Hayden said I don't care, not up to me but we will all be in the same cars - the change to the original plan of only having the two 2016 cars may also have upset Thierry...

http://www.rallye-magazin.de/wm/vide...crash-spanien/ By the looks of this someone has gone off the road on a closed throttle and a brake lock up which was only released at the last moment. Can't help wondering if the driveshaft breakage occurred when the first wheel of the car regained the traction of the tarmac whilst bouncing off the rev limiter so I guess I am of the same opinion as Hayden on this one.

Paddon has achivied a lot this year. He got in the podium, he finished top5 constistently, he earned a long contract. But he has a long way to go. And a lot more achievements to get.

Now the game is serious, he has to get more podium, win rallies and, very important earn the n1 status in the team. This status is currently Thierry's one. This is what is happening.

When a alpha male in wild world is ruling his group, if you want to become like him you have no choice and start to fight him. No room for two alpha.

The same is happening between Paddon and Neuville. The reason of their arguments, the statements are details. If Paddon did not want to become N1 and if Thierry didn't feel his status in danger they would be friend and loving each other.

Clearly Neuville has been No 1 this season but his poor performances, particularly in the second half of the season, combined with what appears to be his reluctance to drive for the benefit of the team instead of himself and the teams decision to drop him from the main team for GB suggest his status in the team is at best on an equal footing with Sordo & Paddon and it appears eminently possible that if Sordo & Paddon deliver for the team in GB, Neuville may well start 2016 in the backup driver role.

Watch SS2 on WRC+ around 7min i think it was, you can clearly hear a crunching noise under braking, not strange that a driveshaft would break there since it's so bumpy.
