    Yes, but look at the average age of WRC drivers. It is so much based on experience. It's not like F1 where kids like Verstappen can walk in and do a job straight away. Lappi is 26 and is considered very young. Suninen will make his WRC debut in Poland at the age of 23 and he only gets two drives this year. He'll spend the next few years predominantly in WRC2 too unless he comes in and does a surprise monster job.

    Look at Paddon (30), Tanak (29) and Evans (27) still maturing.
