I don't understand the talk about Tänak not being a team player. What do they mean by that?
All the top drivers fight for their personal points and title. If they are successful, then obviously the team will gain also a good amount of points. If you don't have a chance anymore for the title, then you start to play the team game.

I understand it more that Abiteboul will manage two top drivers better than the previous team principals did.

I think that If Tanak really goes to Hyundai that it will work for them well with Cyril in the lead. Both Tanak and Neuville really want to beat Toyota
