🗣️'When I joined the team there was a bit of an elephant in the room - there was no technical director.' Does Demaison have the answers thierryneuville is hopeful of? ⬇️WRC
Thierry Neuville believes the arrival of former Williams Formula 1 technical director Francois-Xavier Demaison at 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 Autosport. 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.
“The first thing I wanted to do was to secure Christian, but not in an advising role, but in a really executive position, which he is now doing as WRC programme manager which will complement FX Demaison.
