What's somewhat worrying from Toyota's point of view, that in two years the team has lost Lehtinen, Lappi and now Tänak - and basically all three have voluntarily walked out. If I were Akio Toyoda, I'd ask Tommi some questions.

Neuville said in two different interviews this weekend how he has always been faster than his teammates in Hyundai and he is kind of right. Obviously he wasn't faster every single rally, but over multiple rallies it's true.
Remember how people expected Loeb to dominate over Neuville after start of this season, similarly after the 3 rallies he did in 2017 it was expected that Mikkelsen would be fighting with Neuville for n1 position. Before that it was Paddon who had same speed with Neuville in 2016 and then just struggled since.

Also whats weird is that, I havent heard any rumours that Tänak acctually tested Hyundai somewhere. When moving Toyota, there were videos and everything about testing it. So is he really changing team without even testing car before? Or they have kept it in secret and been reslly good at it?

Hard to believe it's just about money; Toyota is paying millions to Alonso, mainly for PR purposes. A bad relation with Makinen, like cali explained, make more sense.
Btw, before Loeb's era having 2 top drivers in the same team was the rule in the WRC; it can work fine, as long there's a strong team manager.Rally addict since 1982
