Silly Season 2022

BTW I don't think Adamo is that crazy to give Solberg a seat

Oliver need same order from team boss as Petter got: Get to the finish line on every rally. You can win them later, now it is all about getting experience.
Malcolm was pretty clear, and that went well for Petter.

This is actually really interesting comparison.

Petter started under Malcolm which was like this. Then after 1 year he unexpectedly left to Subaru, seemingly to charge for results as soon as possible. What followed were almost 2 years with lots of crashes before he got somewhat stable, but he never got really stable (which cost him 2004 title and almost 2003 one (Corsica)).

Oliver could continue with Skoda in 2021 and go for WRC2 title like Kalle did + for example ERC. Instead he went immediatelly to Hyundai with a WRC starts promise and what follows is a string of crashes.

There are two real dangers in short term:
- stopped driver development
- his near future is completely based on Adamo being his fan. If Adamo gets kicked he might find it hard to get a decent drive for a while.

So it seems, but taking a second look, there are many ways of polishing the juwel of Norweigan driver. He has some areas to improve. One is maybe making more exact pace notes.

He will for sure be a winner. Every driver needs to crash out to learn.

Were any of the French WRC drivers for the last thirty years crash-prone? In the English speaking world Colin McRae may have set a bad example.

Duval if you count him as "French", Delecour (with Lancer WRC, might have been the car).
