Msport have to look at themselves as to why Bertelli has gone elsewhere.
As others have said, I don't begrudge Bertelli or other gentlemen drivers at all. They've earned their money in life or have rich families, so spend it how you want. And I'd rent a yaris over a puma, even if cost a little bit more.
However I do agree they shouldn't be running ahead of the top WRC2 drivers or "stealing* their potential TV airtime. Surely something the FIA/organisers can look at.....
What r u guys saying? That having Privateers entering Rally1 is "bad"??? Jesus christ...
Just a thought - what if there was a FiA rule that every gent-driver going for R1 ride need to finance and enter at least 1 WRC 2 or WRC 3 driver for as many rallies. Lets call it as a luxury tax for allowing driving among the elite athlets in World Championship? I think in the endurance racing we often can see gent-drivers teaming up with pro-drivers - one gets fun, others - the seat time.

Still early but could be very difficult rally.
