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.Last edited by Watson; 11th June 2017 at 20:36.
Lowest point was probably when they had to put the top class drivers to run RX2e cars for the final races of the season, after the whole fire on the Lancias drama.
