look beyond his name, look at the results. There is nothing there that would indicates he should have been promoted to a factory team trying to win the title.
Someone like mikkelsen is clearly a step above solberg and drivers like ostberg, suninen, huttunen, bulcacia, rossel, lefebvre or even gryazin are just as good.

This has nothing to do with jealousy, this is called being objective. If you want to contend a championship you need to hire the best drivers available. And solberg is not the best driver available, so he only is there because of his daddy.
Being objective need some more rational thinking than yours. And don´t compare to old established WRC drivers. I talked about youngsters. Don´t you think they need chances?
