From R. Reid:
I always got on fine with Michel but did get the impression that Drivers in general were maybe a necessary evil to him and sometimes got in the way of the technical solutions. I’m guessing a bit now but having an engineer as Team Principle maybe doesn’t prioritise the areas of the team where the biggest gains can come from – the management and motivation of the drivers...
well prepared and confident driver can perform miracles…

This is an old quote of Nandan from late 206 WRC times (I read it in Czech so please pardon my translation into English):
The drivers are those who confirm the correct choice of changes not those who select them. You can see the result yourself. With that I don't want to say that the driver is not important for the development. It's always great to have a good driver who goes always flat out and mainly all the time with same style.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Finally the last piece of my puzzle are in place! All season I had a feeling that Huyndai could be/is most powerful, solid car in WRC and after visiting Finland WRC that feeling became only stronger. When I was asked from my fellows about Huyndai my answer always was - they are struggling with setups. I wrote it down to "four different drivers - four different setups" but this one above made a click for me.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
