Andrea Adamo: “We cannot wait for other people's problems”

Andrew Adam did not hide it on the evening of Germany: the overall performance of the team Hyundai Motorsport on the Germanic roads had not offered the expected result in terms of the Drivers' and Manufacturers' crowns.

In the match to aim for victory against Ott Tänak (Toyota), Thierry Neuville had been cut short by a puncture, while reliability had failed Dani Sordo since Friday. Enough to let the Toyota clan widen the gap in both rankings.

Before a Turkish event where Thierry Neuville was in the running in 2018, before having to give up, the Italian manager of Hyundai wants the Korean brand “controls one’s own destiny”.

“This means that we must be efficient and reliable in all areas of our business, continued Adamo in Germany's wake. We can't wait for other people's problems to get results. This is not how we should approach the rally or racing.

We are determined to show a competitive and reliable pace this weekend. With only four rounds left in 2019, we can only achieve good results. Our three crews performed well in the dirt events this year and we will be aiming for our fourth victory of the season in Turkey.

There is no room for even the smallest error. And no excuses. » The Hyundai crews have been warned.
