That article shows a very simplistic point of view. There were many other,
BIGGER, reasons that the article barely hints at or not at all. How about the
global recession that hit near the end of 2007? That coupled with rule changes
is why Subaru pulled out of the WRC. Just like Honda pulled out of F1 back
then and again now. Speaking of F1, look at George Russell’s practice and
qualifying results in Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes. Seems there is more to
Hamilton’s championships then his ability, eh?
If one person dominates a sport it probably has more to do with much that is
not seen than what is.
