One of the reasons for doing WRC2 is to learn the rallies for next year when he'll be in a Rally1 car. Arctic Rally Finland is a one-off for this year so no learning needed for next year. Maybe Adamo thinks its worth the risk to let him have play in the top class on this event.

+ on the PR side, I can't see a better person to have in your team.. Yesterday Facebook/Twitter/IG feed was full of Oliver's news (with video greeting) about getting the WRC car seat in Arctic rally.
With Huttunen, Veiby etc there would have been a little post/tweet and that's it.. ,,Thanks!''
Solbergs attract people with their positivity and emotions while giving interviews and that's what fans like and the series needs.

Oliver is similar to Kalle. No matter what path they take, they'd have both found their way into a WRC car permanently sooner or later.
He is destined for the top - whether he fucks up on his WRC car debut, or whether he impresses. Whether he shows good pace in the Artic rally, or doesn't. Whether he wins a wrc2 title, or whether he doesn't (because he could be fast tracked to the WRC before then). Etc etc.
There is no right or wrong path, as every individual is different. If Adamo wants to fast track Solberg and throw him into the deep end, that shows his faith & confidence in him.
If Solberg is miles off the pace/ crashes etc he will learn from it and get a reality check, and realise how much work he has to do. If he sets a good stage time or 3, it shows he is capable and he could potentially get another WRC drive in Estonia this year...., and that's good for every WRC fan.
Team principles aren't expecting him to win the wrc2 title this season, so I'll ask again who REALLY cares about it (besides Mknight)? If Adamo did, he wouldn't be putting Oliver in the wrc car for the artic rally (as it's his best chance of a result). All he has to do this year show some impressive stage times against who he is competing with (Mikkelsen/Ostberg etc in WRC2, or the lesser drivers in the top class), and learn all the rallies to gain experience. Every man and his dog knows Mikkelsen will win the wrc2 title - as he should.
