    He was faster on the old car with partial programs

    I had the same observation on Sordo - that we have not seen that competitive/fastest times.

    But, maybe it's just a good balance on taking risks and providing results? 5 podiums (?) in rows is quite impressive result.

    Sordo is never fast when the surface is slippery,asphalt or gravel.
    If it dries out he will be faster.

    These are two legends so not really comparable.

    This is more the reason here.

    If Hyundai could fix these gremlins, we could have a proper fight next year... but easier said than done.

    Plus as Hyundai is a bit difficult to drive even for permanent drivers, then when you come and drive after a while, you might not have the feeling and there is no reason to push. Ford and especially Toyota are different animals in that sense.
