Rossel is 29.

Having a famous name opens a lot of doors.

Maybe. But where are the results? Don't they count anymore?

What's wrong with his results? He was 7th in ERC Junior last season and 6 drivers ahead of him were older and more experienced. And currently he is 3rd.

McRae, Mille Johansson and Jaspar Vaher look like proper WRC1 prospects imho.

But those 6 drivers ahead of him are not any super talents. Being 7th in Junior ERC is not a very impressive result.
He is still very young and I wish him good luck, but I think that calling him a new talent already is a little premature.

I only see pure talent from three newcomers, Sesks, Jürgenson and Vaher. Pure talent means raw speed,the remaining aspects will be learned.Pure talents are Sebs, Rovanpera, Lukyanuk, Tänak, Grönholm,Märtin and some others but not money+connections+workers.There are many fast drivers, Solberg, Gryasin , Pajari , Rossel, Latvala etc,..they are not on talent.They are good learners and workers but

Sesks is not a newcomer. He is superexperienced. At his age he might very well be a world record holder in number of rallies done and dozens of them were international high profile ones. Just roll down...

In your list I don't see a difference between Latvala and Rovanperä for example. Both had backing and were developed from an early stage and both showed very good speed right away.

Wow! You are right. He is only 24 years old, but has 10+ years of experience.
