While I do like to Tidemand have a seat in WRC I really cannot see anyone's seat endangered by him. It's a tough competition at the top. Hopefully he is not a write-off and he does not run out of finances because occupying a seat in a WRC team could take for years...

Hehe sure, I'll give that one to you, (although I dont see Tänak on Dmacks that year dominating away from tarmac, for example on gravel, except in Poland where he did good and won...was Dmack bad on all surfaces?) ...but you are kind of nitpicking and/or missing my point?

My point...Tänak had THREE FULL seasons in WRC-car before making a significant attack towards the top (2017) + stand in-rallies early in his career like Tidemand/Greensmith has now. During his first season he was WAY off the top and now he is arguably the best driver in the world.

To write off someone after two-three rallies is just plain stupid, especially now when the latest spec-cars are even faster.
