It is nice how after so many years some people are still trying to justify Kubica's problems and/or are surprised about Ostberg's bad pace on asphalt.

Maybe Lappi risks being superceded by Tidemand as VWs next in line. Hopefully they'll both get full WRC2 next year.
I think "Skoda youngsters" should drive more events first of all. For example smaller events, but just practice , practice, practice. It could help even with your self-confidence and psychical stuff (Lappi case) Pre-event tests are not good for that. I know Skoda has no interest in that , it is just business, but the drivers themselves should be interested in that. It should be priority No1 for people around them. If there is some agreement between drivers and Skoda motorsport, they should push on Skoda to let them drive some "personal projects paid by their own money" :) ...For example yesterday I found statistics of Simone Tempestini. He has attended 50 rallies during seasons 2014 and 2015. And he is not factory driver, just having wealthy father. Lappi attended 18 rallies during last two years. It is not enough for somebody who should evolve into world TOP driver. The evolution is not finished yet and that is why they need the practice.
