I admit the last two years have been dire, but I place the blame on Prodrive/SWRT engineers more than Subaru or the Impreza itself. Prodrive has been distracted getting their F1 program setup, and SWRT has suffered.
Anyways, back on topic, the second background is definately a Subaru driver, most likely Petter. You can see the SWRT and STI logos on his arm.
