I suspect, that it’s why Neuville became so adept at the handbrake driving style to help the car turn….maybe.
This year in Finland Neuville seemed to drive with much less handbrake and sideways than Suninen and much less than he used to be with the old car.

There was also a detailed comparison between Suninen and Katsuta on Alllive where they showed how Suninen used handbrake and scandi flick a lot. Can be the car, the settings or his style. Remember Suninen got even openly criticized by Malcolm for driving too sideways (think it was after Sweden, not sure if 2020 or 2021?).
