    Agreed. Delecour in 93-94 comes to mind, especially the road accident in 94 that kept him out fir a few rallies. Who else?

    Daniel Carlsson
    PG Andersson
    Mikko Hirvonen
    Daniel Sola
    Francois Duval

    and many many more, nobody had the chances Latvala had and stayed in a team for as long as Latvala did without delivering results. When you talk about talent is very hard to quantify, what do you mean by talent ? going fast ?

    Good list. Agree talent is hard to define/quantify, but going fast, probably yes, but going fast consistently, on every surface, having the opportunity (like Latvala) and still not winning (the title). Hirvonen has to be the best recent example. Latvala's mental state seems to have been his undoing. Agree about Duval too.

    You must be young to forget how close Markku Allen was and also Michelle Mouton were to winning the championship.

    I do not value rally drivers of an era that a woman could even be competitive, they were nothing.

    Obviously you never competed against her, she was definitely something special, a one off special.

    It might be added that Mouton and Pons were a rally driving team. Pons a key factor.

    Latvala has had more chances than others, that's undeniable. But please, winning 15 events during the Sebs era is far from "not delivering results" or being a nobody.
    Of course daddy paid at the beginning of his career but I'm sure every team principal would have welcomed him until at least last year.
