Thierry Neuville believes the arrival of former Williams Formula 1 technical director Francois-Xavier Demaison to Hyundai is the missing piece of the puzzle for the World Rally Championship team.Hyundai announced last month that Demaison, who helped Volkswagen during its domination of the WRC from 2013-2016,The team had been operating without a designated technical director, with the renowned Christian Loriaux working as a technical adviser in a contractor role.
“It is obviously good news. I think we have been fighting for a technical director for very long and it was a bit challenging to get someone, but finally, we have got someone,” Neuville told Motorsport.com. Asked if Demaison is the team’s missing piece of the puzzle, he added: “For sure, as for any well-structured company a technical director is a big part of the success.”These thoughts are echoed by Abiteboul who believes Demaison's appointment is “really important” for the team as it aims to fight for the WRC drivers’ and manufacturers’ titles.
“I will expect from FX what I would expect from any technical director, which is to embrace and give leadership and management across all departments which was clearly lacking, and maybe part of the reason why we are where we are in terms of competitiveness.
