Hyundai Motorsport is back to victory 2 months after the last success. He did so at the Rally of Spain, the penultimate event of the WRC 2021, once again thanks to the duo Thierry Neuville – Martijn Wydaeghe, who had already won the Ypres Rally on the August 15th weekend.
A sweet-tasting victory, because it demonstrates how much Neuville is a title driver – even though he is no longer mathematically fighting this year – and Hyundai is at least as fast as the Toyota Yaris.
At the end of the Spanish Rally, Hyundai Motorsport team director Andrea Adamo spoke to the WRC + microphones, who said he was happy to have kept the games for the titles still open until Monza.
“I’m happy for the team. The Constructors’ title for Toyota is not yet mathematical, so as I said, we’ll play it to the end. And then everything will be fine in the end. If it doesn’t, it’s because it’s not the end. the fans will be nice to see the fight open up to Monza “.
Neuville and Wydaeghe’s race was perfect until the Power Stage, where the two had a hard time not seeing the engine of their i20 Coupé WRC restart while they were reorganizing before the final act.
“It was a tough rally, it was a tough Power Stage for what happened in Neuville and we would have gladly spared it. But in the end it went. So many emotions. This year we allowed the others to have an easy life. Maybe in the end we woke up. “
Finally, Adamo congratulated his crews, capable of hitting the double podium on Iberian soil. The Piedmontese manager, however, wanted to underline the great performance of Dani Sordo, able to overtake Ogier on a Sunday made complex also by the rain that made the Power Stage tricky (won by Sordo).
“If I can, I have often pulled Sordo’s ears in the last 2 years to try to wake him up. Today, I thank him. I saw him go all out on the water, he was great and I thank him. It’s too easy to say thanks to Thierry, I don’t want to say it’s normal, because he and Martijn rallied beautifully, but Candido and Dani also did something special. Maybe the leap they made in ERC did them good. The team deserves what they got. Me often most of the time I’m making a mess. “
