No need to be that harsh Watson. WRC isn't a popularity contest; we must praise drivers for their talent and forgive possible character flaws, having in mind the huge pressure they're submitted.
And yet you've got Latvala, Breen, Paddon, Lappi, who are modest and never place the blame on someone else unless absolutely necessary. Neuville thinks he's untouchable.
"Signed for" are big words for them having done a deal to drive the current Stellantis Rally2 for
another season.
If Hyundai comes knocking that deal is done for sure.
I rank Rossel above Gryazin. Gryazin used to be very fast and unreliable, now he is reliable but not much faster than others.
In all those years in WRC2 Gryazin never had a real shot at title....
Must be going off to do the Historic ERC with Jari Matti then! :)
