ok then...

the problem with Ostberg and Latvala is not that they are not fast/consistent/handsome... the main problem is that they do not show any adaptation skills... there is absolutely no way for ostberg to become faster and there is absolutely no way for latvala to learn how to drive...

Mikelsen on the other hand is at the start of his career and worth the full support of VW to prove himself that he can be a future star and not another latvala... same goes for neuville and other youngsters, they might be reckless/slow/ugly but they might improve, a thing that will never happen to latvala or ostberg.

to put it simply so you can try and understand it...

you run a bussiness... you have an employee who is working on the field for 20 years, he is a good guy and he knows the job but every two weeks he presses a button with a big sign above it saying DO NOT TOUCH THIS BUTTON YOU WORTHLESS DOG which results in the bussiness to have some loses.... now here comes a new employer who tries hard and is good enough... maybe not as good as the one you have... he also presses the button due to curiosity but he shows sings that he might not do it in the future.... which one you keep ?
