    8 out of 13 rounds are dry gravel, most of it slow. How Evans (and Toyota) will do on that is a big question still. However his step up when changing the car is truly amazing. Especially considering how he compared with Ogier in same car in 2018.

    Tbh I think Neuville doesn't even think that it's strange to do that anymore. He is just used to use the handbrake to turn in every corner.

    Pontus: "Grip - OK, stage - was good, all - incredible...." but you lost 10sec to stage winner. HOW? If all was very OK

    It is going to be super weird seeing Evans and Rovanperä completely dominate Tänak in Finland, in which is his strongest rally.

    It's require time and... testing days that slightly limited nowdays. Also we must remember that it's same car as Neuville drove. Hyundai can't develop two different cars for Tanak and Nueville. So if Tanak will fix car - he fix car for himself and Neuville not gonna be happy with that, cuz he has different driving style.

    That's how I understood his comment as well. When asked what he was missing he said "that gokart feeling" (which he had in Toyota)

    Depends on how much actually can be changed and how much they will want to change if it makes Neuville slower. On tarmac based on Loeb and Mikkelsen it looked like things actually couldn't be changed.

    he was asked how the feeling was and he answered still not good because the car still feels like go-cart, not that he is missing it.

    Neuville said the same, the car was too stiff

    Tänak is WDC, Neuville is not and Adamo wants to win.. if Tänak asks to try something different and fix the possible problem, then I think Adamo would listen Tänak and find the solution..

    Question: "What's the issue with the feeling, what are you missing"
    Tanak:" It's just the... go-kart feeling".

    See for yourself now on the allive record of the stage at 31:30 in.
