For me at the moment you wining about Neuville more then Neuville actually wining I would say it was way bigger problem in previous years with comments like "I got most of the rain / ice / snow / fog / sun" to search reasons, why he was "victim" but not the reason for slower times. This year I can watch it more like explanation when it is actually problem. Of course, there is question - why this problem is still there. I admit, that during next rally the same problem could be quite weird.
