Why Tanak, very demanding, not so nice guy to be teammate, ...

If you could make a poll for all Tänak's previous team-mates, I wonder, what could be the actual stats.

Tänak was/is friend with Ogier. I think the same is with Sordo. I don't remember any troubles with Evans, Latvala, Lappi or Meeke.

There is just clear mismatch with Neuville and it may say more/also about Neuville than Tänak.

I believe Lappi wasn't too complementary of him as a team mate.

There was some issue that Sordo didn't check phone before starting the stage and that is why he "ignored" team orders.

But friendship with Sordo made the contact with Adamo and entire movement to Hyundai.

I don't think there is a big crisis between Neuville and Tanak yet. Tanak was actually more pissed off at clear backup driver Sordo not gifting him a place for better road position, than he was with Neuville not wanting to gift away his well deserved win. I know if roles were reversed, Tanak would be equally against gifting away a win. That's where strong team management comes in to deal with the situation...., as no top driver is going to actively decide to gift a win away. But if they're told to...

I still think they should've switched them, but even if they did, it's still a distant pipe-dream Tanak can win this championship. It will take the biggest collapse in the history of the WRC if Kalle loses it (although he is 2 rallies into a potential collapse). I have no doubt Hyundai would've switched them if Tanak was a fair bit closer to Kalle, they're surely not that amateur to not have.....

Has anyone considered that Tanak may retire at the end of the season? I believe he has a reason to do so.

A reason from rallying or from personal life?

Can we be more specific, or should everybody start to look to crystal ball?
