So in your opinion, it's FIA Junior World Rally Championship Championship?
You cannot compare it with Moto2 or MX2 as it's totally different government body. But you can compare it with other support championship by FIA.
So you have:
FIA Hypercar World Endurance Drivers’ Championship x FIA Endurance Trophy for LMP2 Drivers
FIA Formula One World Championship x FIA Formula 2 Championship
FIA World Rallycross Championship x FIA RX2e Championship
See? Only Kalle Rovanperä is WORLD Rally Champion, meanwhile Emil Lindholm is WRC2 Champion... Also FIA is well known for that they don't really gives world championship status easily. For like 7 years Formula E was not WORLD championship, same for rally raid.

Correct. And Latvala might be right also in a sense that Tänak didn't talk to him as he isn't deciding driver line-ups.
