In the next season of the World Rally Championship (WRC), Hyundai will have two strong contenders for the title. Ott Tänak returns to the Alzenau team after a year at M-Sport Ford, teaming up full-time with Thierry Neuville.
Being two drivers with strong aspirations, it is possible that there may be situations of greater friction. And team boss Cyril Abiteboul did not hide from Motorsport.com that difficulties may arise… but Hyundai is ready:
– Certainly [managing the drivers will be challenging], but I feel that the company is up to it. But I don’t think they should be ready for it this year. But after this year of learning, I am sure that we can all manage with good execution. But as soon as we have a clear understanding of the competitive environment, we will establish a clear objective for the team and drivers, as well as a clear code of conduct for next year.’
