I'm sure that's part of it. But there are a couple of things that strike me...

In an interview during rally Silesia, Paddon specifically talked about how they'd had trouble with the car for the last couple of years until about halfway through this season when they finally got it sorted. He wouldn't say what they changed specifically, just that they finally got all the bits to work together. He later talked about "a season of two halves" and things along those lines.

Also, as somebody pointed out during ERC Ceredigion, he won every proper stage on Saturday except SS3 which he lost to... ...another Hyundai i20 N. The other i20 was driven by James Williams, his teammate.
