edit

Citroën signed Neuville for the2012 World Rally Championship,driving selected races in aCitroën DS3 WRCfor theirjunior team.[33]The season saw Neuville make hisWorld Rally Car-debut. At the season opener inMonte Carlo,Neuville crashed out of the event early.[34]He remained scoreless until the fourth round inPortugalwhere he finished in eight position.[35]Prior to Portugal, he had won his first stage win inMexico.[36]InArgentina,he was fifth, despite rolling his car early in the event.[37]Neuville's results had so far been plagued by the use ofRally 2-rules,his first error-free event was inAcropoliswhere he was sixth.[38]Neuville's season did not includeNew Zealandwith the Citroën Junior Team, but asNasser Al-Attiyahin theQatar World Rally Teamwas injured and unable to compete, Neuville replaced him for the Qatari team in the event.[39]He was battling for fifth place with fellow World Rally Car-rookieOtt Tänak,with Neuville eventually securing the position due to Tänak retiring.[40]He scored no points inFinlandafter crashing from sixth place.[41]He was running close of a podium finish in the following event inGermany,but, like in Finland, he was outside the points due to a crash.[42]He returned to the points by finishing seventh inWales.[43]His best result of the season came inFrance,where he led a World Rally-event for the first time in his career and eventually finished fourth, after many stage wins.[44]Another outing for the Qatar team inSardinia,the penultimate event of the season, meant Neuville contested the full season.[45]He was outside the points in Sardinia, as well as inCatalunya,the final event of the season, due to incidents on both rallies.[46][47]He finished the season in seventh position.

Qatar (2013)

edit

Neuville joined Qatar for the 2013 season, now driving aFord Fiesta RS WRC.[48]He retired for the third time in Rallye Monte-Carlo, after going off track on the third stage. In Rally Sweden, he got off the mark by scoring a fifth place on a surface he lacked experience on. Then, in Mexico, he was one of the men of the rally, getting his maiden podium finish (third place). Round four, Portugal, was disappointing, since he finished out of the points, after returning to the rally in Rally 2 after retiring from fifth place. Fifth place was again for Neuville, in Argentina. Then came a streak of podiums which turned Neuville into the surprise driver of the season: third place in Greece and second place in Italy, Finland, Germany and Australia.

At Rallye Deutschland, which Neuville considers his home rally, the Belgian was in second place during the second day, trailing Jari-Matti Latvala just for a few seconds. But in a surprise twist, Latvala left the road and Neuville did the same thing right after him. Neuville led the rally for a stage, but eventually, and in the second to last stage of the day, he lost the lead toDani Sordo.The next stage of the day was cancelled, so the drivers entered the final two stages separated by just eight tenths of a second. The penultimate stage was won by Sordo, which left the Spaniard three seconds ahead of Neuville in the overall classification. Both gave everything in the PowerStage and Neuville eventually had a small off in the very last section of the stage, therefore losing the chance to win. He ended in second place, 53.0 seconds behind Sordo.[49]

At Rally Australia, Neuville was in third place, 25.2 seconds behindMikko Hirvonen,before the PowerStage. WithSébastien Ogiercomfortably in the lead, he needed to finish in second place overall and in the PowerStage in order to still have a mathematical chance at the title. Hirvonen punctured in the stage, allowing Thierry to finish in second overall and second in the PowerStage. After this dramatic finish, a frustrated Ogier and Neuville were the only ones still with a chance for the title, although Ogier only needed to score a single point in the remaining three rounds. Ogier eventually secured the title in the next rally in Alsace by taking a point on the Power stage, which ran as the opening stage of the rally.[50]A podium for Neuville in the last rally of the season in Wales secured his spot as second in the championship, ahead of Latvala.[51]

Hyundai (2014–present)

edit

2014

edit

On 5 November 2013,Hyundai MotorsportGmbH confirmed it had signed Neuville on a multi-year deal to lead its entry into the WRC from 2014.[52] After the halfway point of the 2014 season Neuville had scored two podiums for Hyundai and ran sixth in the overall standings.

Thierry Neuville rolled six times during the shakedown of the ADAC Rally of Germany, stopping in the vineyards. The car was repaired and Thierry Neuville and co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul finished the rally in first position. That was Thierry Neuville and Hyundai Motorsport GmbH's maiden win in the WRC.[53]Previous year's winner Dani Sordo, who was now his teammate, finished second, so it was not just Hyundai's first win, but also a double victory.

2015

edit

Neuville started the2015 seasonstrongly, finishing fifth and second inMonte CarloandSwedenrespectively. He finished eighth in the third round inMexicobut had been battling for lead with Ogier during the first day before going off the road.[54]

The remaining events of the season were disappointing for Neuville. After a crash on the last stage ofRally Argentina,his confidence took a knock and he could only manage one more podium, which came inItaly.His teammates, Sordo andHayden Paddon,outperformed Neuville during the last events of the season but he still managed to finish above them in the standings. He finished the season in sixth place.

2016

edit
Neuville at the2016 Wales Rally GB.

The2016 seasonstarted with a podium in Monte Carlo, as Neuville finished third with a new rendition of thei20.[55]But the podium was followed by a mechanical issue in Sweden and crashing out in Mexico, meaning he would score no points in those events. InPortugal,while lying fifth, he ran out of fuel while on a stage caused by a miscalculation byHyundaiand his car ended up stranded.[56]

But inSardinia,Neuville was back in form. By winning nine of the 19 stages, he won the rally and finished roughly 25 seconds ahead of a pushingJari-Matti Latvala.After the rally, Neuville paid tribute to his former mentors,Philippe BugalskiandJean-Pierre Mondron.Bugalski, who died in 2012, was born on the same date Neuville won the rally, while Mondron had died two weeks before the rally.[57]

On 5 October, it was confirmed Neuville would extend his deal with Hyundai until the end of2018.Despite rumours suggesting him considering other options, he decided to stay with theAlzenau-based team for2017and 2018 when new regulations for the competing cars would enter.[58]

He finished the season with five podiums out of the last five events, securing the position as runner up in the championship with 160 points.

2017

edit
Neuville won the2017 Tour de Corse,his first rally victory of the 2017 season.

In2017Neuville and his teammates Paddon and Sordo started with yet another new version of thei20,thei20 Coupe.

The season however started badly for the Belgian, finishing the first two rallies in 15th and 13th, having led both rallies before crashing. He finished the power stages in both rallies in first and third, still scoring eight points. After finishing the Rally Mexico in third place Neuville won the Tour de Corse and the Rally Argentina, becoming a world championship contender againstSébastien Ogier.In Portugal, both fought for the victory and Ogier won. Then, in Sardinia, where he had won in the previous season, Neuville only finished third, however, ahead of Ogier who finished fifth. His next victory came in Poland, and then, in Finland, Neuville only finished sixth, however, after his arch rival Ogier retired, it was enough for Neuville to take the championship lead for the first time in his career.

Heading into the2017 Rallye Deutschland,Neuville's goal was to retain the championship lead. However, a small impact on the first stage of the second day was enough to damage suspension and transmission of his car which resulted in having to retire from the day.[59]Neuville was third before the accident and in front of Ogier who was fourth after the first day. He aimed to salvage points on thePower stagebut could only manage sixth fastest, meaning he would score no points for the first time in 2017. Ogier retook the championship after finishing third and opened a 17-point lead over Neuville.[60]Lightning then struck twice for the Belgian, as a lackluster performance inSpainended when he clipped a rock on stage 16 and broke the steering, leaving him pointless for the second rally in a row and dropping him to third in the standings behindOtt Tänak.

Neuville retook second place in the driver's standings in Wales, as he finished the rally in second position while Tänak finished sixth. Unable to match the pace set by rally winnerElfyn Evans,who usedDMACKtyres, Neuville was the fastest of the drivers competing onMichelin.He finished ahead of Ogier, who was third, but the two extra points Ogier scored on the Power stage meant the Frenchman was crowned world champion for a fifth consecutive time.[61]

At the final rally of the season in Australia, Neuville took his fourth win of the season. The event was characterized by changeable conditions but after initial leaderAndreas Mikkelsensuffered a double puncture, Neuville held off Latvala who was his closest challenger for most of the rally, the Finn eventually crashed on the last stage. The win meant Neuville secured the runners-up spot in the standings for the third time in his career.[62]

2018

edit

Just as in 2017, Neuville's season started with a mistake at the season opener inMonte Carlo.On the first stage of the rally he lost control of his i20 and got stuck in a ditch, the excursion cost the Belgian four minutes and ruined his chance of a rally win.[63]As the rally progressed, he fought his way up the standings and eventually finished fifth.[64]

Neuville won the2018 Rally Sweden.

In Rally Sweden, he was the fifth on the road at the opening day, which meant he had more grips than the drivers who start ahead of him. That gave him a chance to fight for the victory. Eventually, he took his seventh win and first on the snow in the WRC, though he had an electrical glitch with his Hyundai'spaddle shift gearchange systemin Saturday morning and made a few small mistakes. After winning the rally, he led the championship by ten points, ahead of defending world champion,Sébastien Ogier.[65]The win meant Neuville became the third non-Nordic driver to win the Swedish Rally.[65]

The lead of the standings was short-lived, as Ogier won the next rounds in Mexico and Corsica. In Mexico, Neuville endured many technical issues with his i20 Coupe and achieved sixth as a result.[66]While in Corsica, Ogier extended his lead in the championship further when Neuville finished behind him in third.[67]

Neuville beat Ogier to the podium in Argentina when he finished second, but the rally was won by Tänak.[68]After Tänak's mixed start to the season, the Estonian's win in Argentina meant Tänak had emerged as a title contender along with Neuville and Ogier.

In Portugal, Neuville secured his eight win in the WRC and inherited the lead of the championship when both title rivals Ogier and Tänak hit trouble and scored zero points.[69]Along with four extra points from the Power stage, Neuville's victory lifted him to first place in the standings, 19 and 47 points clear of Ogier and Tänak, respectively. In the next event, Rally d'Italia Sardinia, Neuville won again. Ogier had led most of the Sardinian rally but Neuville eventually beat the Frenchman to the win on the very last stage with a margin of seven tenths of a second, equalling the third closest win in the WRC which was set by Neuville in Argentina, 2017.[70]

Just beforeRally Turkey,it was announced that Neuville, along with Gilsoul, had signed an extension with Hyundai to drive for the team until the end of 2021.[71]

Neuville's advantage in the standings was reduced when his suspension broke in Turkey while he was leading, with Tänak eventually winning the event,[72]and when he slid off the road in the next rally inWalesfrom second place.[73]He lost the lead in the standings to Ogier when he finished fourth at the2018 Rally Catalunyawhile Ogier was second, the result meant Ogier headed Neuville by three points in the championship.[74]

Heading into the2018 Rally Australia,Neuville, Ogier and Tänak had a chance to win the championship. Neuville punctured on the first day and dropped down to last place of the World Rally car drivers which meant he had to run first on the road on the second day.[75]As a result of sweeping the loose gravel roads by running first, making up time proved to be difficult for the Belgian and he could not pass Ogier who was sixth, which was also enough for Ogier to secure the title if the rally was to end without any change of positions.[76]On the final day, Neuville hit a tree and lost a wheel of his i20 Coupe and ultimately had to retire from the event, ending his title bid.[77]Soon after Neuville's retirement, Tänak also damaged his car and had to retire which subsequently handed the title to Ogier.[78]Neuville finished as runner up in the standings for a third consecutive time and his fourth time overall.

2019

edit

Neuville battled with Ogier throughout the season opener inMonte Carloand finished second, with Ogier taking the victory by a few seconds over the Belgian.[79]He followed up the podium in Monte Carlo with another inSweden,settling for the final podium position in a battle withEsapekka Lappiwho was second, while rally was won by Tänak.[80]Neuville could only manage fourth in the next event inMexicowhile Ogier was victorious and Tänak finished second.[81]His first victory of 2019 was achieved at theTour de Corse,Elfyn Evanshad been leading most of the rally but a puncture on the last stage dropped the Welshman to third and Neuville was able to win the event. After the Tour de Corse, Neuville, Ogier and Tänak were separated by five points in the standings.[82]He was victorious at the next event inArgentinawhile Ogier was third and Tänak eighth.[83]When the championship headed toRally Chilefor the first time, Neuville crashed heavily after misjudging a fast crest which saw the Belgian require medical assistance.[84]Both Neuville and co-driver Gilsoul escaped major injuries from the accident.[85]While he had to retire, the rally was won by Tänak and Ogier was second, Neuville dropped to third in the points standings.[86]With no major injury sustained from the crash in Chile, Neuville contested the next event inPortugaland finished second behind Tänak.[87]

He did not score big points in the next couple of events, in Sardinia and Finland, when he finished both events in sixth place.[88][89]Both title rivals, Tänak and Ogier, suffered from issues in Sardinia and also did not score well while the event was won by Neuville's teammateDani Sordo.[88]In Finland, Tänak won while Ogier was fifth, one position above Neuville, and the Estonian opened a 22-point lead in the standings.[89]Since Tänak was pulling away in the title fight, Neuville needed to beat the Estonian in the next event in Germany. He was battling with the points leader through the first leg as the pair were closely matched the whole leg.[90]Disaster struck on the second leg when Neuville had to change a puncture during a stage, a recovery drive afterwards saw Neuville finish fourth while Tänak could cruise to victory.[91]He lost further ground in the title race in the following event in Turkey, as he rolled his car and could only finish eighth while Ogier won.[92]

Tänak pulled further away when the Estonian won in Wales Rally GB while Neuville finished behind him in second.[93]In Spain, the penultimate round, Neuville had to win and finish well above Tänak to prevent Tänak from securing the title. Neuville duly won the event, securing his twelfth win in the WRC.[94]However, with Tänak finishing second, the 2019 World Rally Championship was won by Tänak after taking an unassailable lead in the standings.[94]Heading into the final round in Australia, the battle for second place in the standings between Neuville and Ogier still had to be settled. When the round was cancelled afterbushfires in Australiaaffecting the rally route,[95]Neuville thereby finished second in the overall standings.[96]Neuville's results over the season, along with his teammates', helped Hyundai win their first manufacturers' title.[97]

2020

edit

Neuville started his seventh season with Hyundai by winning theMonte Carlo Rally,battling with Ogier and Evans throughout the rally.[98]However, he would drop the lead of the standings after a sixth-place finish in the following round inSweden.[99]Neuville would drop more points to Ogier and Evans due to not scoring in the next two events,MexicoandEstonia,due to mechanical troubles in both.[100][101]In a shortened season due to theCOVID-19 pandemic,Neuville was 37 points behind leader Ogier with three events remaining.[101]He led most of the next event inTurkeybut had to settle for second after Evans due to a puncture on the final day.[102]He was second again in the next event inSardinia,finishing second in a close podium behind winner Sordo and ahead of Ogier in third.[103]In the finale inMonzaNeuville would need to win and score maximum power stage points to be champion, while his rivals could not score big points. Instead, Neuville crashed out of the event early, while Ogier went on to win his seventh title.[104]However, with Neuville's teammates Tänak and Sordo finishing in second and third, Hyundai was manufacturers champions for the second time.[104]In the drivers championship, Neuville was fourth, ending his streak of finishing as the runner-up which begun in 2016.
