Maybe you're living in a different world, but saying he has no natural speed makes no sense. Especially a few weeks after Rally Croatia, where he was beating both Mikkelsen and Ostberg. Both happen to have factory support and who sit in their Rally2-cars almost weekly for development tests.

Put him in a situation he does not know and he will most likely not be able to adapt quick.
No idea why you bring this up, but I still remember what Gryazin showed in Rallye du Var a few years ago. The first day stages were flooded, and he was beating everyone including Loeb who was driving a WRC.

@mknight & AnntiL, Fair point bringing up Huttunen, another driver to look out for indeed. Let's hope he gets some proper chance somewhere, as he seems to have little financial support compared to others.
