While there are a number of reasons why we generally prefer the spectacle of events the like of WRC to the nannied rule of Formula One, it’s the fact that the people involved in disciples like WRC seem, well, a little more human when compared with the heavily edited, almost robotic, dialogue broadcast from F1 teams.
Thierry Neuville’s reaction to crashing his Hyundai i20 WRC car during a shakedown run for Rally Deutschland, for example, was the kind of response most of us might have had to crashing your boss’s car.
Learning from this mistake Neuville (in a repaired car) went on to claim his maiden WRC victory in the same event.
