Anyway I don't get why people would suddenly want to kick half of wrc drivers. It's not like they are minutes behind, mostly the events are quite close. The drivers that were kicked recently were Lefebvre - who actually was minutes behind most of the time, crashed just about every rally and was sharing the seat in the first place. Haninnen - who similarly was minutes behind on most rallies, crashed and was relatively old. And Meeke who has been on "warning" for crashing by same team 2 times before (2017 and 2014?) and was actually kicked once by Mini/Prodrive.


Also whom would you replace 3-4 drivers with? Realistically I see only Tidemand as a clear candidate. Maybe Camilli, but not so sure. Huttunen or Rovanpera are not ready for full season yet.
Camilli was worse than Lefebvre, especially before his Germany accident (after which I'm adamant Lefebvre lost his speed). No pace, consistency, or improvement in 2016. He's been way better in WRC2 than I expected, but with only two events so far his career seems stagnant.
