If you believe the rumours, Adamo banned Mummy and Daddy from being in the team areas on event, because they hang around their little prince too much.

The kid needs to learn to grow and develop by himself. He's 20. Does Mum and Dad really need to be around for recce etc etc?

It's not rumors. It was shown on the "team Solberg" reality TV that follows him during the year.
It was after Finland 2021 that P.Solberg was banned from the team service area.

That said it was also shown on the same series how it was Adamo "giving" him the (almost) full 2022 factory seat (also in Finland). It was also Adamo (in his own words) who "snap" decided to put Solberg in WRC car for Arctic 2021.

So it definitely seems Adamo was pushing Solberg into the car (to "counter" Rovanpera).
Problem is that Rovanpera had a few seasons in R5 to really develop. All this rushing just slows/hinders Oliver and instead of taking a step back they just push on.

You're meddling a little bit.

it is not like Adamo decided everything on his own. he had to balance his ideas with his superior ones...

Adamo's snap decision on arctic proved corrected (probably the best display of Oliver so far), still, as you can see i.e after Safari last year, he was also convinced that was too early for a consistent program and had a different plan for developing the kid than his family.
Still they had some kind of leverage in the management of the team...

Why do you think so? I mean they got the opportunity during Adamo's tenure.

pretty much is all written above. i think adamo saw an opportunity to use solberg in specific "safe" or "spare" round (like arctic) both for results but mostly for hype, maintaining Sordo and others to have a consistent team.
Things went awry when Solberg clan used their leverage to gain space in opposition to Adamo's plan. I think a problem was also the lack of commitment from Solbergs to adamo customer r5-rally2 campain (they preferred family owned car, and looked for a top class program way more than developing the kid in lower class)

I remember rumors was to have Sordo in a team job as a kinda of tutor-role for the development of Solberg, which was around much less race time, and much more learning time, but this plan never happen it seems.

This and other major issues (late car approval and development, less decisional power,...) led adamo to leave.

This is not true

that decision was made with some pressure

Generally speaking, it is not so nice to see Oliver always being surrounded by his family. They must leave him ALONE.

They are not a part of Olivers carriere, petter was home this weekend and now attending a hillclimb in northern Norway.
