Well, would be M-Sport, I would clearly try to hire him. He seems on a bit positive trend, he has some potential and clearly, they don’t have much better option right now (Breen is really nowhere currently, Fourmaux also and Loubet, you can have some doubts on his real potential considering his international experience).
It’s a bet but in M-Sport situation, they can’t do nothing more and at least, they have avoided the learning phase so in the best case scenario, it could finish like a 2013 Neuville season.

Solberg has talent, but was pushed up to WRC1 one year too early.
He should have done at least 1 season in a rally2 car. This to learn all the rallies, and not both learn the rallies and the brutal Rally1 car at the same time.
He now starts to get the car, and has stepped a few % back, to get km in the bank.
The speed he now has, will make it easier to hit the limit with something in reserve, since he masters a quicker car. Same as a few others in WRC2.
Now it depends on who still see a potential in Solberg, and give him a job, and might get a driver that can challenge Rovanpera in the years to come.
Malcolm normally has a nose to spot talent and opportunities in the future, lets see what happens.
Oliver also speaks french from his time in FFSA academy.....

Agreed, but they got closer after the jokers, and they need one more to get on the podium.
And the Solberg team in sweden are very capable to pinpoint and correct trouble areas on gravel/snow.
So could be a good solution if all of the past is forgiven.

"makes far to many mistakes " when you think about for exempel Colin McrRae or Solberg senior i think there is no problem with Oliver.

He should have followed the example of Blomqvist & Sainz, and gone racing.....more opportunities.....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
