The second off happened on the stage before PS. If anything he should have driven slowly to save tires.
On Monte the off wasn't really big and if it wasn't for the circumstances he could have prbly easily gotten to service with small timeloss.
Sweden was ok given what happened on Monte.
Mexico was again ok, technical issues.
Corsica confirms he still is not there on tarmac - this tbh might be one of the main issues as a factory driver these days can't imo afford to be very weak on tarmac. He should really focus on that, drive some other rallies/series/gokart w/e when possible.
Argentina was a stupid small mistake, very similar to both off on Sardinia. Still struggling with the car even when it worked.
Portugal good, again technical issues
Yes altogether it doesn't look so bad. BUT when you compare it with last year vs Sordo and with the fact that Hyundai was most likely the best car most of this season it suddenly does not look that good.
Also they do seem to have some serious issues between him and Neuville. I noticed something last year as well but it doesn't look like it got any better. Whatever the reason is, if Hyundai should pick one it will be Neuville the way it is now.
Slightly worrying all of that. He did very well last year in Poland and will have good starting position so a podium should definitely be possible.Last edited by mknight; 13th June 2017 at 00:48.
