Hyundai WRT

Don't think that had anything to do with Paddon. You mean they should go all wild about finishing 2nd when they are used to win (multiple times this year) and just lost both championships?

No, they should applaud a job well done to Paddon, it's called respect, of which Hyundai is sorely lacking.

Hey statistic, Toyota has 6 victories as manufacturer, Hyundai & M-Sport x 4 (1 shared by Toyota and M-Sport). Tanak and Ogier x 4, Neuville 3. Hyundai are the bottom and clearly in the position of catching up.

How does this counterprove what I wrote? They did win a few times this year and in AUS they lost everything.

Your post makes them look like winners, clearly they are the losers (before AUS).

EDIT: They have every obligation to applause Paddon for his work in AUS solely. What they has shown I already know so I'm not disappointed.

They were leading the manu champ 3 rallies ago. Doesn't that make them winners/would be winners?

Anyway I did go to watch the moment Paddon crossed the line (didn't remember it from live) and while I still mean they did have a reason to be disappointed it was quite striking how not a single one made any congratulations-like movement. But yeah came with chance for 2 titles, took 0 and didn't win rally. Msport and Toyota each took one and Citroen went there basically without ambitions.

and I totally get your point, but even a token acknowledgement would have been nice, I actually reckon the live feed was out of sync with the footage from the HQ and Paddon had not finished yet, just seemed to dead in the room.

75% of the championship is not the whole championship. Tanak & Ogier had their bad rallies mid-season, without those Hyundai would be in the same place like at the end of the year.

Yeah agree after seeing that, also that it looked like they were looking on something else cause there was not a single movement anywhere.

The live feed was synced for the other teams, By the way, go back and look at the similar shots from Turkey. Same reaction at the finish there too.
