Exactly. It wouldn't make the sport any better (or worse for that matter) if we had 10 Al-Qassimis and Serderidises motoring around the stages with latest-spec WRCs. There's so much more to take into account than only the number of top class entries.
I would rather see 10 Al-Qassimis in 2017 machinery, than 20 Rovenperas (as good as he is) in an almost silent R5, any day of the week.
Exactly. I hate when people say this or the same for Tanaks 2019 title.
Like I have mentioned previously, Tanaks 2019 title was even stronger than Kalles in statistically
the only one who has ever beaten ogier in equal machinery was loeb, when ogier was still learning.
I'm not convinced rovanpera would have been champion is ogier did a full season. And i'm equally...
If Ogier was unbeatable in hybrid era, he wouldn't have crashed in 3 rallies a row chasing title last year.
