Hopefully the future will be different for Oliver, much younger than Kyosty and the "full package" (fast on every surface).
Kyosty came from nowhere, for sure Oliver didnt came from nowhere. He is doing WRC races for many years, before he did more than 10 starts there with the car of highest category. He almost won Kanepi stage in 2022 (beaten only by Lappi).
