The problem is that he's never had the funding to allow him to drive near to flat-out. Every rally, going back to 2019, could be his last if he crashes the car. Even this year, with the backing from a Monte Carlo sponsor, might not be for more than a rally or two.
I dont claim he is the fastest but he could show much more speed than he's being able to.
This is same as Emil Bergkvist in 2017. And Tidemand. No funding, no top speed. Few rallies, no learning.
It´s all about money or proper funding. And then also comes talent, of course.
