Hi, friends!
I published recently their episode of vlog after Safari Rally Kenya with delay and that delay was purely I missed the video when it was published, or I had something more interesting to write about at that moment.
It doesn't matter. New World Rally Championship event has just finished (WRC Islas de Canarias Rally 2025) and they published today the newest episode of their vlog called LIAISON: The rally that didn't go to plan.
Yeah, it didn't go to the plan. My opinion is that they have a wrong team boss at the moment, Cyril Abiteboul, who came from Formula One world. And in Formula One there is much more about manipulations, intrigue etc.
World Rally Championship is more straight forward. There is not that much of a playing between the teams and because there is only three teams around, they all know what's going on.
Mr Cyril Abiteboul thinks that he can add some manipulation and started to blackmail FIA about the new 2027 WRC rules. That's not good and nice. They should work much more on the development of the car and less these kind of things.
So, their result at Islas de Canarias wasn't good because their best placed driver was Adrien Fourmaux in 5th place overall. Toyota beat them well with 1-2-3-4 which must be a disappointment for such a big team as Hyundai.
You can see much more in the latest episode of Liaison. Please enjoy...
