I'm not worried for Mikko Hirvonen, but Jari-Matti Latvala would be the one I'd replace with Block. He hasn't been consistent though you can see he's skilled.
I guess time will tell.

I had a ford thunderbird turbocoupe in high school, but that is unrelated to this story. Back on topic - I bet he will be driving an explorer. They're adequate off road, and somewhat pleasing on the pavement. I'd put their acceleration on par with the focus RS, yet they can carry 2 more people and a lot more luggage. And that's what's important in WRC - cabin space.
Good luck in your explorer, Ken. I know you read this forum often.
