Thank you. Ott really does look deflated.

The difficult thing for Hyundai is that they cannot make a lot of changes, only homologation jokers one by one. The new regulations means that there are less things you can develop gradually. Small additional aero devices are not allowed anymore and the diffs must be the same for all drivers in every rally for the whole year. Finally, testing days are more limited than before. In that sense, it's not the same situation for Hyundai now as it was for Toyota in 2017.

Just watched the AVB interview, the thought ran through my mind if he fancied the HM job.

AVB? HM job?

Let's guess - Andre Villas Boas and Hyundai Motorsport?

Yes. Sorry folks, wrong crowd maybe. Andre Villas Boas was a football manager who had success with big name clubs in various top leagues despite never having played professionally. He has some motorsport passion if not much history, some rally connections and maybe transferable skills and qualities. I know it's not going to happen, but it doesn't have to be an ex-driver or petrolbrain to take the boss role.

No, but if he's used to football money, he won't be interested in coming to work in motorsport...

A guy who buys a Citroen C3 WRC to sit in his own car museum has too much money already.

Joking, I'd have one too.

The problem for Tanak is nothing has gone right since he (left Toyota) joined Hyundai. He sees his old team win the Titles and now dominating even more with the 2022 Rally1 car.

Big regrets I think.

He’s tied with Hyundai until the end of next year right? Any chance he’ll just decide to retire at the end of this one?
