Former Renault F1 boss Cyril Abiteboul is set to be announced as Hyundai Motorsport’s new team principal of its WRC and touring car programmes. Full story ⬇️
Autosport sources understand Abiteboul has emerged as the successful candidate after the brand’s lengthy search for a new leader.
The Frenchman will effectively take over from countryman Julien Moncet, the team’s former powertrain boss, who was promoted as defacto leader under the deputy team director title. Moncet indicated at Rally Japan last month that his future in the role was unlikely to continue. Since leaving the F1 team, Abiteboul has been working in a motorsport advisor role for engine builder Mecachrome, which supplies power units to Formula 2 and Formula 3.This new position at Hyundai will see Abiteboul work in rallying and touring cars for the first time in his career.
Despite being up to six months behind its opposition at the start of the year, Hyundai scored five rally wins, the most it has ever scored in a single WRC season.
