In Loeb era you didn't see specialists mostly because you could only enter 2 cars that could score points, not 2 out of 3, this was also true for first few years with Ogier/VW if you recall.
I don't think there is a shortage of specialists, Østberg in Citroen 2018 was pretty much working as a specialist and it worked on fast gravel, Breen is essentially a specialist at this point too (based on his run at Citroen in 2017-18).
Mikkelsen's video blog:

- he took 4 wet, 2 snow on Saturday morning, broke the gear on SS7 as reported and then put on crossed tires for SS10 unlike Solberg and Østberg (you can see that from outside vids too)
- doesn't say anything about tires for afternoon or about the whole snow situation, so I guess he didn't have 4 snow, but probably had 2 else he wouldn't post SS11 time like that. I haven't seen anywhere what Solberg had if it was 2 or 4 snow.
Fun bits:
- Marcus Gronholm advising in Swedish before final stage "drive in the middle of the road"
- O. Solbergs WRC3 podium plan: "Spray the Finns (Huttunen/Lukka) with champange!"

What a joke of a ratings
The guy has been smoking some good shit lately.
really?
Where was long-term team leader Thierry Neuville? Out of the rally after needlessly clipping a chicane and then drowning his engine as a result of the reduced speed he had to go at.
