Some drivers are better at developing a car than others, on the other hand drivers are usually neither designers nor engineers. Didn't Neuville already say that the big handbrake usage in his driving style is not "his own", but rather he started using it because of how the car handles? Could be that Neuville is not good at developing, could be that Hyundai wasn't able to deliver the car its drivers asked for.
