Got to love all these conspiracy theories on Neuville deciding who's the next Hyundai driver, kicking out Mikkelsen, being the chief engineer and chief designer and probably the Hyundai CEO in Korea.

you laugh now but you won't be laughing when the new "Hyundai Thierry" comes out to a dealer near you!

I know someone inside the team and even after just one day it's pretty known that all these things aren't just conspiracy theories...

Yes, and Wuorela was 100% sure from a trustable source that Hyundai was going to retire at the end of 2021...

Line-up confirmation coming soon... and Moncet knew Tanak was leaving before Rally Spain:

Wow, Neville is surly the most talented man in motorsport history then. Top driver, top engineer and CEO of a huge car company. That is unrivaled success!

I get it, hard to trust unknown randomers on a forum - I probably wouldn't! You can believe me or not, but all the info will come out one day I'm sure! I'm just glad people are starting to see the real truth about this guy.

When one makes up conspiracy theories, they have to be realistic, there is an art in lying. If you put up an ad offering an iPhone for 2 euros, nobody will click on it, because they'll immediately know it's a scam.
Suggesting that a team listens more to one driver's feedback is realistic, it has happened. Suggesting that a driver basically decides who the company hires (lol), fires other drivers (lol) and is responsible for the car's poor reliability (lol) is not realistic. Unless you were Ove Andersson, both driver and team principal of Toyota.

focus206, but what about Tänak saying that he is “not like my team-mate” Thierry Neuville who is “organizing the drivers in the team”?

Tanak can say what he wants, he said he was going to drive a Hyundai for sure next year... I think his biggest dislike was that the i20 was developed more to Neuville's liking, which is the only thing I find believable.
Can Neuville pitch a preference of teammate to higher-ups? Of course, they probably trust him enough as he's been at Hyundai forever, unfortunately. Can Neuville decide who drives, who gets released and control everything behind the scene like the master of puppets? That's just paranoia.

At this point Im just cheering for Lappi to win the world title with Hyundai and go like "Eh, the car is really good, idk why all the drama" :P
