Yers, Hirvonen could have been challenge to Loeb in this rally - especially when Seb had to play safe due to championship situation. You have to remember that Hirvonen has been good challenge also to Grönholm in few rallies. There is absolutely no reason why Hirvonen couldn't perform equally in the C4.
As to Latvala, I think that he would have hard times with Sordo if not retired. Latvala by the way has been stunningly fast with wrc-car already few years and his current performance level (2-3 min from the top) is not surprising anyone who has watched his career.
