That’s not such a silly idea. There are several examples of rich, but less talented, drivers that found they could live their rally passion supporting talented drivers and become codrivers or team managers (Joaquim Santos, portuguese rally hero, was backed during almost his entire career by codriver and team owner Miguel Oliveira, that started himself as a driver).

Btw, Bertelli came from a country were wealthy people have been generous patrons for centuries. Instead of being a 3rd level driver, it’d be great to see him on WRC as FUCKMATIE team manager, giving young talented drivers the chance to rise and shine on this fantastic sport.
