They also compete against or after money. You have money you drive the best.
Suninen was a very small margin to crash in Finland. Normally it should have been a DNF, however he managed it and had a podium in his home event. Which according to most of you guys doesn´t count.
I believe though, Suninen will be in a 17 car next year. So will Tidemand."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Yeh, he could have been second even after missing a chicane on saturday, but fell to fourth, which was still a better result than the likes of Tänak or Neuville could pull off.
Another thing about comparing the results of Tidemand and Suninen is that Tidemand has been in the Skoda factory team for three years, while Suninen has been driving in various private teams. That must give different circumstances for testing oppoturnities and race kilometres. Also, Tidemand is 4 years older than Suninen.
But ultimately the team bosses will at most look at your past season and estimate how good you would be on the next seasons and the season after that. And in the case of M-Sport, the budget must be there as well. Suninen has the advance that he has shown that he can be fast in a WRC car. Some drivers can never do that although they are the fastest in JWRC or WRC2.
At the same time, I would love to see how quick Tidemand would be in a WRC17 car, in an event that's good for him like Sweden or Portugal.

Didn`t Tidemand do rally Sweden some years ago in a WRC car, setting some really good stage times if I remember correctly..??

some very passionate argument in here with no outcome. People must have too much time on their hands.
