Ott Tänak’s superlative run of form in the World Rally Championship during the slower, rougher gravel events, contrasted to struggles for Thierry Neuville gives Hyundai boss Cyril Abiteboul something to think about.

Is it time to prioritize Tänak’s needs for the rest of 2025 to maximize Hyundai’s chances in the title race?

Colin Clark and Eliot Barnard debate that question in this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod. Also on the agenda is the question everyone’s wondering: will – or should – Sébastien Ogier take on the remainder of the WRC season from Rally Finland onwards?

Whether criticism of Hankook was warranted after some drivers suffered multiple punctures is also probed, while Kalle Rovanperä’s recent struggles are reflected upon.
