    That he is all-or-nothing kinda like driver? how many times has he done proper ERC season (which has not been the most competitive series) campaign and he has almost always been a favorite to win, but the madman driving has been costly for him, also in ERC. And before his R5/ERC days he was even more unpredictable, while being blindingly fast.

    i dont agree.We cant put Luky and Novikov on the same league,when Luky has achieved championships,while being always fast.

    Where do you draw the line? I think Luky has proven to be one of these crazy russian all-or-nothing drivers with all his event crashes, but also the idiotic test crash that denied his best chance to show his speed on WRC level back in Finland 2015/16?

    Novikov (just as Luky) was reckless, didn't win championships but managed to show speed against the WRC drivers while Luky only did that against people in ERC

    gryazin is just another spoiled kid with a rich daddy. he does on average 20 rally's a year and he still can't keep up with the best drivers.

    you can't compare that to luky, who is genuinely talented but lacked the resources when he was young.

    Gryazin is still young, and Novikov was young when he was in WRC. Luky turned 40 this year and was like 35 when he started going to events outside Russia and Baltics. Quite different situations.

    If we had championship now with Novikov on his prime vs Kajto/Ingram I would always put money on the russian. "but he has a championship title" well neither does Neuville.

    What he won should also be considered. not all crowns are the same.
