Madness.
He needs a stable long-term program (preferably with one car but at least in same category) and a real coach + maybe experienced co-driver (these two can be one person).
Between Adamos ambitions to turn him into new Rovanpera in 1/3 of the time and his parents who (from the outside) seem like a fan squad his career is getting ruined.
Currently his average time between major issues is 2 stages. Last time he managed driving more than one leg without issues is 5 rallies ago.
There are 2 real risks:
- No development ( that's already happening, what signs are there he is any different driver than in January?)
- If Adamo gets kicked and the new person is not Solberg's fanboy or if say Hyundai pulls out who will suddenly hire Solberg? Sure with his parents and their connections he will find some way to drive, but again it slows any development.

Clearly Adamo is fast tracking him into the main team and sees Solberg as the future. Autosport claiming Adamo told Breen he couldn't offer him a full season, so.....
I'd now be surpised if Solberg/ Sordo sharing the 3rd car doesn't happen now. I guess unless Oliver has an absolute disaster in the last few rallies.

Not madness, but anyway kind of weird.
However Oliver is strong mentally and is for sure on a level of speed beyond many drivers. I´d say also in a WRC car.
What he need now is a more consistent variable driving, using stages wisely, by coaching, including experienced co-driver. (has been discussed here before...)"Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

It´s weird yes
but
his results with Hyundai WRC are way better than his results with Hyundai R5/Rally2 ...
Maybe WRC suits him better ?"quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

Teemu Suninen
Great news, we'll join Hyundai Motorsport! 🙌🏼
Hyundai Motorsport is known as a great team with strong team morale, professional and motivating mentality. The whole team has always been oriented on good results in WRC and also in WRC2. It is great to be part of this big team, and I’m looking forward to the whole experience and delivering results in WRC2 with the new Hyundai i20 N Rally2 car at Rally de España in a couple of weeks. 💪🏼
