Money will always be needed to succed in Rally but it’s impossible to win on a WRC level without a huge talent. So, it makes little sense to guess if a driver gets his money from dad, sponsors or a bank loan; it’ll never buy him talent.
On the other hand, and that’s denkimi post interesting part, natural skills can be perfectioned through intensive training. Having kids practicing since a very young age is common in almost all sports and we had others premature rally prodigys before Rovanpera, althougth the intensive social media coverage around him has clearly made his case more noticeable.
With other kids (and their dads) eagerly trying to follow Rovanpera’s footsteps, we’ll probably end with drivers becoming younger and younger and service parks starting to look as a schollyard, like in F1. Honestly, I hope not.Last edited by Rally Power; 21st February 2019 at 13:40.

Not a happy Mads...
Ostberg says he felt afraid and uncomfortable on his first start in Citroen's C3 R5 car on last weekend's #WRC Rally Sweden

From the article: " I feel my experience isn't enough to find a solution for this."
If your experience isn't enough, after 10 years in the WRC, you have a problem.

I wouldn't be that harsh. Only few drivers have the technical background to know what to change to get what they want. Normally it's the work of engineers to listen to the drivers and make adjustment up to their liking. On the other hand I agree that with Ostberg it looks like the same old song all the time no matter which car he drives. Either he doesn't know what he wants or he can't express his wishes in an understandable way or he keeps working with incompetent people all the time.

However Mads did well in WRC car in Finland. How much was his experience used back then, before the rally?
