For me it would seem logical to get an extra drive to Lappi cause he didn't drive in Poland unlike everyone except Ogier. Then if you have one more car it is better to give the drive to Tanak cause Neuville will lose ages as first on the road anyway.

Yes, all that is logical but if your championship leader is asking for more driving and they publicly tell that they don't have budget, yet Tänak and Lappi are driving, you have to admit that sounds a bit odd

Only one test car available for local events. Also Tänak and Lappi outings were agreed earlier and now Neuville got a wake up call.

Some good news for once.

I remember few years ago when FIA decided to stop Ladies Trophy in ERC, despite both promoter and competitors were against. FIA told that there cannot be any championship or cup based on gender...

That's a pretty comprehensive programme. Fair play.

Good.

Seems there's a difference between a talent program and a championship/cup/trophy that they can skirt the rule. Skirt lol.
