To analyze this famous Rally Argentina WRC, I chatted at length, at leisure, with Thierry Neuville; Here are some "highlights" of this interview to be published this Wednesday, May 4, in the Belgian Auto Trends Magazine Monthly
- "I'll say it again:" It's great for Hyundai But I'm frustrated ...! "
- "Paddon has great roll: when Ogier returned 3 '', he did not panic and pulled out a gun to finish the fight! That said, if he was able to unpin '' El Condor '', it was because he was not nominated and he had not the need to finish to score big points for the constructor . "
You mean he had the green light from team to try everything?
- "Sure, we told him to go for it, and it could make or break ... and he won (...) But it is never the second victory of the team, after mine in Germany! "
Paddon is in your ways somehow? (wink)
- "Here he is THE perfect race. But he has not experienced any glitch ... This is what still adds to my disappointment. To my frustration same! Lose 6 minutes for an electrical sensor is too frustrating! But I obviously delighted to Paddon! "
Your look on Hayden Paddon ... on the man?
- "It's a nice guy, nice, simple. But it's a hard worker, a hard worker who has sacrificed a lot in his youth to achieve WRC.
Frustration, you said - you understand it well ... - eign you the how?
- "When you think you are suddenly 6 minutes already, you pests. After, when you see a teammate win is even harder ... You tell yourself that if you had not had to worry, could you too ... And that, I am sure! "
So this frustration, how to forget?
- "By telling me 3 things: 1. Paddon was able to enjoy a perfect Hyundai; 2. thanks to that he was able to compete with and beat Ogier VW; 3. ... soon it will be my turn! "
Precisely, Portugal, will you play to win?
- " Certainly ! In Argentina, Paddon has scratches 5 (6 Latvala and Ogier 4). Our Hyundai is in rhythm. I myself signed one scratch, without being highly motivated, and without taking any risk because after my loss of 6 min. it was not that I damage the car, he especially had I gleans some points ...
- Also, when I see how the Paddon himself has abused in 'El Condor' ', without breaking it, is that it is really strong: from now on, we will be able to go really! (Laughs) ... "
See you in Portugal, then?
- " And how ! We'll all be overexcited ... But, me! All the more so, since I will not be nominated - which was the case in Argentina ... Paddon - and that I will not have the obligation to bring points for the constructor, I can go for it! "
