The main issue is not having a boss right now; it’s about the car and Loriaux knows the technical part for it.
The question mark is to know if they are still in the development process (not only finalizing and updating) because they are late compared with other manufacturer (in that case, they have to limit losses in Sweden and maybe Croatia but after that, they can benefit from the 5 gravel-rally streak).
If there are at the same stage of car development (to the final version) than the other manufacturers, the season will be very loooong...

I don’t tell it’s useless to hire a boss, I’m just speaking in terms of priority.
