Yes, they are. They're alone in the "decently funded" category. Fact is the same situation has not happened before, even in 2003+ years and there has always been more than 2 capable contenders.

About Hirvonen, there is nothing new to see drivers 'cruising' in the WRC after the peak of their career.
Sainz was probably the best at it.

4th in the WRC standings is one heck of a good and respectable performance by Hirvonen and MSport.
Hirvonen staying in the WRC is no harm done to the sport, a lesson in consistency and finishing a rally and good to E.Evans.
