    What a totally crap you are talking about. It's on the same level as NOT and that's not a compliment.
    You really think there's a godfather in Finland who's in charge who becomes a factory-driver?
    I think the manufacturers are in charge and they pick up what they think it's best for the team. In the case of Latvala and even Hivonen they promised a very good curve on performances in the beginning of there career but in the end both meet a even better driver(s) to compete against. On the other hand i saw no better options the last few years, especially for Hirvonen because in the end he's still a good team-driver and good for many podiums. And Latvala is the best next driver after Ogier and yes with more than 10 years experience but if you don't judge that as talented you really don't know what you're talking about.
    And sometimes it's possible the most talented driver isn't choosen, but in the end maybe even in Africa there's a driver living who can be better and faster than Ogier. In the end we never know, only can judge afterwards. And that's so easy...
