Thierry Neuville admits that "nobody knows" how to solve Hyundai's performance issues in the World Rally Championship. This acknowledgment raises questions about the team's future. Here's why this situation is critical for the rest of the season.
At the recent event in the Canary Islands, Hyundai failed to achieve its first victory of the year, highlighting the gap with Toyota. Neuville, who had shown good performance in Croatia, fell short in the Canaries, where his times were slower than last year. Despite improvements in the i20 N, the difference with Toyota's car has increased.
Neuville expresses his frustration: "We are very far from what we had as a car. It's very frustrating." This situation is even more concerning given that Hyundai's sporting director, Andrew Wheatley, confirmed that the performance in the Canaries was as expected, but the team is still struggling to find consistent speed.
In summary, Hyundai urgently needs to identify solutions, as time is running out and the competition continues to advance. The lack of answers is alarming and leaves the team in a delicate position in the championship.
