    Exactly. Any "smart" driver would take power stage easily and secure the win, especially this early of the season. What does Ogier? Push huge top times and crush everybody else! Why? Because he can. Because he is so full of confidence he doesn't even think it's a risk. Every win will just boost it more. I just wonder if it'll last if someone should shake it by pushing Ogier to the edge?

    For his opponents, the year in the Fabia S2000 was the worst thing for them, but the best thing for him - it made him even more hungry for success.

    I'm sure there will be events were the car has issues - but, you would be brave to bet against him.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    With what car?! Fiesta is not good enough.

    It's good enough. They just has to operate it as a works car. Not a private team with a very limited budget

    Every time they try harder, it brakes. So not good enough.

    I feel like we have just had a Senna vs Schumacher moment in the WRC. We only saw the beginning of what could have been years of great fighting between Ogier and Loeb. Just like Schumacher and Senna. Looking forward to Argentina.

    Yes, have to agree with Jani but hope I'm not alone in saying that is incredible to watch. I think it's just a question of when he will win the championship rather than if, and how many championships can he win before he is challenged? It could be a case of hoping that Hyundai or Toyota or whoever, find the next star driver.
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    If only Jari Matti had the same confidence levels. He's just too fragile.

    Folks here didn't eat my bate but I wasn't kidding. Lappi challenged him with pure speed at NORF. Homeland yes but actually Ogier has more experience of those stages than Lappi. And what about that young Tindemand? He looked very promising. So there's challenger coming. In feedinä years, WRC can ne very interesting.

    There were actually many drivers capable of some single successes but most of them never managed to repeat them or at least not more than few times. Time will tell but I hope that somebody able to fight Ogier is found soon...
