Again, Rovanperä should not be put under pressure by these overwhelming comments nor overhyped (tiresome probably to him also) . Yes, he has done fine until now, lets wait for it a bit more...there are many examples of doing fine from the start...Suninen and Lappi started of magnificent, but are somehow stuck...mr. Novikov was also great in his second season (but remember, that it was his second season in the series also, without lower classes).
No. I think this is another level than all of them mentioned as examples. Two very difficult rallies with such mature and youngster stylish done, can´t be one offs... Sorry.

Fragile? Ogier had 0 DNFs in 2019 due to technical trouble. Only technical problems were 2 times broken powersteering, in a whole season (which of course was enough to make Ogier and his wife rage)....
If it is just a new investor (not a new Promoter) that means they wont be changing anything except financial matters. And yes, the FIA has to decide and approve the Regs.
You're way off topic lads.
