I rank Rossel above Gryazin. Gryazin used to be very fast and unreliable, now he is reliable but not much faster than others. In all those years in WRC2 Gryazin never had a real shot at title....
Gryazin presumably also brings budget. If Hyundai do go the M-Sport route running out of Belgium, it's a good shout.
Gryazin is the best available rc2 driver after solberg. The only thing that has held him back for many year now is him being russian. Paddon's last wrc season was 2018, and even then only...

"Signed for" are big words for them having done a deal to drive the current Stellantis Rally2 for another season. If Hyundai comes knocking that deal is done for sure.
