Lack of confidence isnt just 'in his head' if it's got a real cause ie. a big change in the road conditions faced due to starting last (on Sat) after starting first (on Thu/Fri) ...

The problem is that he's never had the funding to allow him to drive near to flat-out. Every rally, going back to 2019, could be his last if he crashes the car. Even this year, with the backing from a Monte Carlo sponsor, might not be for more than a rally or two.

I dont claim he is the fastest but he could show much more speed than he's being able to.

Well, sorta. He's never had the luxury to be able to drive all the time like solberg or gryazin, so it's difficult to compare his speed to those rich guys.

But he most likely is not world class level. He could be multiple local champion, and be even pretty close to the absolute top in erc and wrc2. But he's not going to be world champion.

Monte has always been a mess from organization point of view.

This is same as Emil Bergkvist in 2017. And Tidemand. No funding, no top speed. Few rallies, no learning.
It´s all about money or proper funding. And then also comes talent, of course.

I just listened to the Dirtfish podcast ft. Andrea Adamo.

He said Evans wont win the WDC due to facing two opponents at Hyundai. And Toyota having no team orders isnt how to win.

In Monte, he would've told Ogier to drop behind Evans as every point could be crucial.

Remind me please how many titles did Adamo win when he was competing against Toyota? :)
