I'm afraid Tänak will destroy Neuville's psycic, i dont think he can handle that Tänak takes his nr1 status and beat him on most rallies.
He will start to crash, and be more frustrated.
I belive Mikkelsen will drive 7 rallies and still be 2nd best pointscorer in Hyundai, Tänak will make the Hyundai fits Mikkelsen like a glove, and he is atleast on Neuville's level and not nearly that fragile.

I think they need a good test & development driver...

And at the end of the 2025 season he said that all of his vacations are planned on the rally weekends so he wouldn't have time to watch or participate :D
After Monte they said, dont worry Sweden will be better.
They'd moved their test base to Finland 3 years ago to sort the car on fast gravel (and snow).
And in Sweden... they were worse.
