    Your revisionist description of history is quite funny.

    "barely managed 4th" = held 4th for most of the rally despite brake problems on saturday and not taking risks because Neuville and Mikkelsen were both well out of contention and the team needed points. Had about 40 seconds margin over Ogier at the end.

    "needed Lappi to crash out to get it" = Lappi did have a big charge late saturday to catch Paddon who was 'taking it easy' (his words), but couldn't sustain that pace without crashing.

    The Hyundai does seem to struggle there, I don't disagree with that. But there is no need to try and twist history to make an argument.
