I don't understand all these codriver changes recently. The most successfull drivers of the past 2 decades, all sticked to their codriver they started with. Loeb, Ogier, Neuville untill recently, Latvala, Hirvonen...
I don't understand the reasons behind it. Sure, it's often not made public. But changing and learning together seems to be a good tactic, if you judge by the past.

Loubet, Gus, Fourmaux, Solberg are logical.. young guys and trying to change something to get better results..
Others haven't just achieved what they want.. WDC.
Ogier and Ingrassia have, Tänak and Järveoja also.
Neuville and Gilsoul have been second overall for like 17 times..
This year the problem has been the Hyundai, not co-drivers..

Without knowing exactly why, I would assume a lot of this recent co-driver activity is related to having more experience alongside the younger drivers. I guess we will find out when the replacements are announced, maybe Phil Mills and Nicky Grist should get the maps dusted off!

Seb Marshall would be the logical choice. Very calm and experienced, already had an event with Oliver.
However I think Solberg might have the same "issue" (looking from the outside) that Meeke had too, in that his notes just seem absolutely overloaded with information. I got lost in the notes watching any of Meeke's onboards under Nagle, but the clearer and calmer voice of Marshall made it a bit easier to follow.
These drivers probably think there is nothing wrong with their notes/ amount of information, and clearly it only matters what suits them best and what they are comfortable with..., but it's just my observation as random rally fan who's watched a lot of onboards.

I met Seb Marshall in the plane to Munich, just a few words to tell him I missed him in a big car
And I showed this photo to him, great souvenir
