Unlike Lukyanuk Gryazin has real money. Then again the car repairs cost a lot. Anyway I can surely see him as a possibility for a drive, but not for the first driver spot.

Gryazin will crash as much as meeke, but without the natural speed.
But pretty sure he will do better than greensmith.

Better is hire sooner as the development can be done by him (Mikkelsen).

Would think Mikkelsen is nr1 at the M-sport list, both fast, done lots of development testing, and bring some RB money.
Paddon is still Hyundai guy, hopefully we see him in a 2C Hyundai this year.
If sordo quit at Hyundai, it is because he is quit rallying.
Loeb, could be interresting at M-sport, but hardly more than some handfull of rallies.

- the obvious problem is that he either finishes first or crashes. It's like 50/50 chance of both. He even said it in Croatia that he "just drives".
- his "natural speed" was completely gone last year in Hyundai. Huttunen in same car was miles ahead and Gryazin was often even slower than Veiby. Sure the i20 probably wasn't the best car, but there is no telling if he won't have similar issues in MSport.

But if you look at his results, he hasn't really achieved anything in WRC2. I would like to bring up Huttunen when talking about the fastest young driver left available, but he often has a different approach than Gryazin, taking it steady and pushing only when needed, bringing the car to the finish.
Gryazin still needs practice and development to be worth the main class. I would say Huttunen is closer.

Have you seen how many rally's he has done? He has exactly the same amount of starts as rovanpera and solberg combined.
He does not have the natural speed of someone like fourmaux. He just has lots of mony to buy him the very best equipment and to do so many rally's he basically lives in the car. Put him in a situation he does not know and he will most likely not be able to adapt quick.
