Too much talk about this. We've tried all options and the current rules are the most balanced imo. The only thing they need to change is to apply the penalty for starting late to the stage time instead of directly to the overall, that way they close the loophole for the power stage.

Loeb had it too, in the codrivers seat. Didn't help much.

But he is too short himself so both together are average total weight.

True. And they get payed for that a lot more than we make in our jobs. So it's right that it should be hard. It's worth it.

Also means they worked a lot harder than those who make less

Not necessarily, hard work helps but plenty of people work their asses off for much less because of circumstances outside their control.

I suspect the likes of Paddon, Breen, Evans Suninen, Lappi won't be making much TBH

Well ESTR is saying rally drivers get paid a lot more so their work should be hard. What I am saying is they are getting paid more because they put a lot of effort and time to get to where they are. That goes with anything in life. Nobody can force you to do anything or control you unless you let them.
