Hyundai WRT

I suppose Moncet is saying they protected the result by telling the drivers to hold position while conveniently ignoring the possibility to swap them with road penalties. Tanak told it straight they wanted good PR for the 1-2-3 and not have any controversy with switching drivers.

It is the only explanation they can give to this situation while not telling that they are team Neuville not team Hyundai.
Like it has said many times since then, 1-2-3 would have happened also if Tänak and Neuville changed the positions.

i don't get it, they can reverse the argument and is still valid:
if the point is to have a 1-2-3, and doesn't matter who is p1, there's no need to change.

For Hyundai, maybe yes but for drivers championship it would have been crucial to swap the positions.

Hyundai drivers have not been allowed to give comments to media in their test.

Hyundai is also apparently testing a new rear wing, and spectators in the test have been asked not to publish images/videos.

They did mention, I think it was Moncet, that they have new homologated parts to apply from the 1.10.22.

yep, but hiunday historically privileged brand over driver champ...

and crucial is a bit too strong, i'd agree with much less distance in standing, but let's see. if the championship ends with 30 point difference, it was not so crucial. if it ends under 10, then yes. time will tell.

I'm surprised how many here wants to see Team orders ...

Something tells me the numbers would be far lower if Tanak was leading and Neuville was 2nd but with more points in the championship

The exact opposite, Neuville deserved the win and I didn't expect them to issue any team orders, he would've won without them imho.

nobody wants team orders... everybody wants a fight till the end for the championship thats why they want team orders...

go watch tennis if you cannot comprehend simple fan logic...
