How is WRC3 divided?

We have demonstrated our commitment to identifying and supporting up-and-coming talent for a number of years, having added Finnish driver Jari Huttunen to our books three years ago. “We can’t talk about rising stars without mentioning Jari,” said Andrea. “He has had a fantastic season in 2020 including the Polish title and the WRC 3 championship. We are working on Jari’s programme for 2021 and more will be known on that in due course.”
Huttunen can not do anything else what he did this year! A weird decision by Hyundai & Adamo once again. Of course their WRC2 drivers should be Solberg and Huttunen.
Jari showed during this year that he is better than Veiby. There is something with Even and Hyundai we do not know. There will be a big difference between Solberg and Veiby. One has a talent and an the other has money...
It wasn't exactly a secret this year that Veiby and Gryazin bought some cash to get their WRC2 seats. And Solberg also has a pretty strong backing behind him, although it's also possible they hired him as a future prospect for the main team. Meanwhile, Huttunen is supported by only Grönholm's GRX team, who didn't have the cash to buy the WRC2 seat a year ago.
Well I feel sorry for Huttunen as he was (again?) basically skipped for Solberg sports-wise and Veiby money/wise.
Hope he gets a good number of drives anyway.
Fun game if you haven't seen the Monte Carlo thread, which of these do you think are the WRC2 entries? This could be our version of pin the tale on the donkey... :D
