Ott is very fast without any doubt, but reallisticly I can't believe he can come in GB and with his very limited time in the car be as competitive as the other top guys. And especially with the DMAK's against Michelin's.
My hint about top spot in RGB is Kris Meeke as he has local knowledge and already has experience with the car.
I'd love you to be right about this but realistically with the championship won by then Ogier and Latvala will be going so hard at each other that the rest won't see them until the champagne is spraying!
We all totally forgot about Suninen. He is still young and have Rally1 experience (and previous WRC generations aswell), 3 podiums clocked on his belt and he didn't do that bad in i20 Rally1 car.
Definitely this. Paddon is the perfect choice with his huge experience. And even for 2027 in the i20 Rally2 car as he's the only one who's made it a winner (in ERC x2).
On second thought I also find it strange that Gryazin gets mentioned, for multiple reasons.
- He is neither youth nor experienced (in top tier)
- He got more stable last years but also lost a lot...
Stuff like that used to give me hope for the team but this season it was clear that the team got sized down and there was a lack of investment.
Neuville already alluded to it this weekend that...
I was gonna mention him but wasnt sure what he's doing now. Everything you said was in my mind.
