I don’t blame him so much for the performance, of course I think he should be better than he is showing, but I do blame him for picking the Hyundai programme over the MSport one. He chose this option, surely he knew that he would be up against it on all the tarmac rallies with road position?
You can say after last year, he may have thought that he was doing the right thing, but when you look at the rallies he has been offered and no seat time, it’s turning turtle very quickly.
The Ford isn’t as good as the Hyundai, but for sure he would have a better chance at some good results by doing all the rallies and having decent road position on gravel.
