The last few years there have been quite a lot of drivers that showed promising speed in first rallies and then never really improved to regularly fight even for rally wins and sometimes not even podiums and nowhere close any championship change.

Basically since 2017 only Rovanpera "made" it.
Lefevbre, Breen, Suninen, Lappi, Greensmith, Veiby, Loubet, Solberg all failed in some way.

Fourmaux and Solberg are the only work in progress there, can't see the others suddenly changing.

Sesks did great in those two starts, but kicking Ogier who is regularly winning rallies for him is insane idea.
I always say this even though Ogier might be annoying sometimes we all should be grateful to watch him both live and from Rallytv because that mf is the master and we saw great battles with him,Neuville,Tanak,Evans (Not so much with Kalle since seb retired from full time where Rovanpera started to be the dominant force in 2022). We saw how hard Neuville and Evans tried but they failed (especially I felt bad for Evans in 2020 Monza but this is rally). Tanak is the only driver to beat seb properly in 2019. Ogier still did a very good job that year by being in the title fight despite driving the dog crap C3 (I never forget how ogier struggled on TARMAC with that car especially in Germany). Now ogier on Tarmac with Toyota is a deadly combination even though Ogier is not in his prime with his speed but he is still a machine which shows how great he is.
