    Thank you for your proposal, but I can mention whatever I want to mention

    I know he picks rallies he likes, I know he is not good everywhere (and he is not unique on that). Last rally he clearly stated - till he can fight for best times, he is motivated, this is something to give him fuel. So, emotion matters.

    The most interesting or funny thing for me is that Sordo is the most happy with the car out of the drivers. At least since yesterday lunch time

    By large margin these rallies are also Neuville's weakest. He was minutes off pace in Estonia and Finland. All four of them are high speed rallies. Should Neuville do half a season next year based on that logic?

    Nope. The team picks rallies where they run him.

    Since 2017 he did not stop doing full seasons cause he didn't want, but because the team dropped him due to too bad pace on those rallies.

    I find this discussion amazing tbh. Just a day ago there was big discussion on how his pace dropped in Rally1 on all rallies and especially in mixed conditions.

    Now he does a few top times while fighting for 5th! on his home rally on dry tarmac and suddenly he should do full season....

    I really like this powerstage

    Really nice and flowing and fast. And looked magical today in the morning with orange sunrise

    Nope, Neuville has won Sweden before as well as many podiums on wet gravel. You picked 1 out of 3 rally types listed.

    The fact that Neuville can fight for championship even while being weak on that one rally type might have a bit to say as well.

    But I get you were looking for quick troll response...

    Another disappointing rally for Gus but it cant be easy driving on your limit but knowing you're off the best pace and not able to fight for anything.

    Before mentioning something like that I really recommend to read what I wrote - I help you out: "Sordo was so happy about the car that he may decide to do full next season from that emotion"

    Sordo had so nice feeling in the car he may want to do full season or decide to continue. This question is to decide for him.

    Nothing about my recommendation, nothing about team decision - just pointing out how satisfied he was at the stage end.

    In short - stop this demagogic BS.

    Farewell Paul Nagle. A top co-driver and a very brave man to sit with Kris Meeke in a WRC car.
