No brainer for a team to get Solberg locked into a good contract, based on what we've seen so far from him.

So now he needs to get a car to get to know, understand and get it under his skin.

Well this current i20 R5 has proven to be a little bit behind in speed and reliability against Polo and Fabia. Hopefully the newer version will be more competitive. I'm expecting a difficult start for Oliver at first and some improvement later in the season.

I am not so sure. Don't think they ever got a Fabia for example. From what I have heard Polo and Fabia steering feeling/response are quite different.
Also imagine if he drives it first time and finds out that everything is worse than both Polo and Fabia.
But he has not signed for them cause current I20 R5 is an epic car, but due to their future potential both in Rally2 but more importantly in WRC.
So did Huttunen 3 years ago though...

Remember Gryazin and Veiby this year? Gryazin lost all his speed suddenly. Even the upgrded car is still behind Polo and Fabia. Ofc I'm really interested how Oliver does get along with his new toy but I predict bit more trouble than with the Fabia and Polo.

Hyundai is not worse than Fabia or Polo. And Gryazins speed is another reason.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
