Silly Season 2022

[mknight]

I have been saying this since it was announced that Solberg will drive WRC in Arctic.
As a first step Solberg needs to learn to perform over a whole rally (and especially when result is "expected"), not just doing a great stage time on one stage and crashing or losing 40s on next.
It doesn't matter if it's in WRC or WRC2, but in WRC2 it's a lot cheaper.

As you write this year he had one good rally... Arctic (and Rally Alba but that's hard to count as that wasn't really a "competition"). And a long string of bad or even terrible results.
He retired on 5 out of 9 starts, 4 of that were crashes and 3 of these were within first 3 stages of the rally. He didn't win a single rally he started (again disregarding Alba with Tanak penalty on purpose), and scored a single podium.

Putting him in WRC to score manu points spells disaster both to Hyundai manu points and Solberg himself.
Sure he could drive 4th WRC car, even for whole season. But does Hyundai have money (and available new car) for that?
