Who was available that could score more? Lappi maybe if he didn't go to Ford? Whoever it was needed to beat Loeb in Turkey and Sordo in Monza, otherwise you need someone who can beat "the big 4" in other rallies. Maybe if Toyota went with multiple drivers to profit from road position, but again who was available? Paddon? Hyundai simply had the better cards this time.

When Rovanpera was decided to be 3rd driver it was supposed to be Ogier's last season. What I meant was that they put a young driver in a full factory seat and now they have another rally winner and a clear driver for the future.
