But there is no purpose sitting Neuville in non points scoring car in the season finale if immediately after the event he has a new employer. This points to Neuville remaining at Hyundai for 2016.
A move to Citroen next year is the only scenario in which it MIGHT make sense to take Neuville out of the points car. In so much as, he's been bad, relationship with Hyundai broken down, and he's taking points off his future team. You could argue that makes sense if the motivation is not there. IF all of that was happening.
But then you see him in the 2016 car testing, and I just think more than likely this (Wales GB situation) is a slightly desperate move from Hyundai to try and help Neuville and help themselves at the same time. I'm not really sure it helps either. Neuville is either going to still be mediocre, or he'll rise to the challenge and out-score his points-scoring team-mates, potentially necessitating more team orders.
As others have said, complaining about the burden of scoring manufacturers points is a nonsense and to me is just mental weakness. sollitt hit the nail on the head by saying it is all part of being a professional. It's what Hyundai are paying him (I assume very handsomely) to do for them.
