    I happen to believe he does have a lot of talent and potential, but he still has a lot to prove too.
    But also his second ever event in R5. What he has is the mental side of winning, starting a rally for the fourth day and maintaining the correct pace that's fast enough but without risks.

    And I think Rovanperä should do a couple of years of WRC2 as well and he's still years ahead of most of his rivals. I hope the hype doesn't work against him. It's not like he fails if he doesn't win WRC2 in Wales and Australia.
    Same with Bertelli. Should have continued on with WRC2, he was doing well there and then silly move up to WRC!

    Its rare that a driver who gets his drives through the money and contacts of his father, turns out to be an incredible talent. Getting the best car and the best support from a very early age makes it 'easy' to win lower championships agains privateers and other young drives who have to do everything themself. Its only when you get to the level where your opponents have the same level of material, that we can see the true talents.

    But its not impossible. I had my doubts with verstappen, but he truly is the talent they claimed him to be.

    Anyone knows if they are still working on R5 development? I heard it's not a good car. Some italian drivers who have tried it said it has not much grip and you struggle to keep it in the lines. (I can't say the names, it's not Andolfi btw). Do you guys think they are right or have some confirmation of this from other drivers? Or the car is just fine and what matters most is the driver in this case?

    I have not seen any results which suggest it is on the same level as the Fabia or Fiesta.

    New R2 regulations/ rules might happen in 2018 so Hyundai stopped their R2 i20 project based on the old/ current rules earlier this year.

    Paddon didn't complain, Neuville also, the car wins Spanish Championship.

    Everyone who have money thinks that they can drive anything fast. Sure they blame the car for their bad skills..
