Some are in both lists but didn't name them twice.

Of those Mikkelsen seems like he would be the best number 2 for Neuville, maybe Suninen if you want to promote from within, Bulacia, Rossel or Lindholm if you want to take a risk on a fresh face but Solberg is already there as a youngster.
The point is, drivers like Mikkelsen and Ostberg sadly are already done. They were pretty good, but not number 1 driver material. Suninen still has a chance, but time is ticking fast. Lefebvre, Camilli, Tidemand no way. Meeke too old sadly, Paddon already done because so long out of the game.

They would be better trying someone like Huttunen, Lindholm or other "new talent". It might go horribly wrong but atleast there is a chance to win something there.
