    Money will always be needed to succed in Rally but it’s impossible to win on a WRC level without a huge talent. So, it makes little sense to guess if a driver gets his money from dad, sponsors or a bank loan; it’ll never buy him talent.

    On the other hand, and that’s denkimi post interesting part, natural skills can be perfectioned through intensive training. Having kids practicing since a very young age is common in almost all sports and we had others premature rally prodigys before Rovanpera, althougth the intensive social media coverage around him has clearly made his case more noticeable.

    With other kids (and their dads) eagerly trying to follow Rovanpera’s footsteps, we’ll probably end with drivers becoming younger and younger and service parks starting to look as a schollyard, like in F1. Honestly, I hope not.
