Anonimo is gone, TW Steel is the new WRC sponsor

As a watch guy, I would like to ask them: Please make a logically priced WRC watch. No more 5000 euro watch that noone is buying.

The only logical thing i can think of is Nicolas asking a big raise and neuville not wanting to give in. Both delaying it to the last minute, thinking the other would give in. And neuville, no longer able to wait phoned another copilot.

I think he probably wanted to give Nicolas every chance - as he is a top co driver and they have/ had a great "working" relationship.
But neither has seemingly backed down and Hyundai are happy with Neuville moving onto this new co driver.
I still don't think it was just purely money, something else has cropped upLast edited by er88; 15th January 2021 at 19:23.

damn.. I just don't want to believe it's about money..
Okay, nobody here knows the deals, but it isn't like Neuville just got a multimillion x-year contract and now Gilsoul wants 5 times more money..
These things should have been done earlier than a weekend before Monte..

The Belgian will be at the end of his contract at the end of 2021. A new regulation is coming. "Hyundai remains my priority for next year. I've been well integrated for many years. We have brought a lot of victories to the team, two constructors' titles too. It's going very well. For news related to my future, that should not be long, ”concluded Neuville.

I will just re-iterate my impression that his standings at Hyundai seems to have dropped massively in last year. The wording of this as well as the wording in the earlier interview seems to confirm this imo.
Sure it is likely they will offer him a drive, but likely not at same salary level like it was. Anyway I don't see why Hyundai should hurry with any contract signing now like he suggests?

So was it Gilsoul asking for a raise or Neuville demanding a pay cut? Hard to figure out any other reason why agreement could not be reached between them.

I saw a good guess on twitter: Neuville wanted to pay Gilsoul by rally rather than by year and Gilsoul demanded the opposite. Remember how there was only half of the rallies last year, that must have made a difference...
