    The surprise is that he has won the social media award for the year. Nothing to get excited about.

    Well I don’t think much of these awards either but So what ? The fans of other drivers of other countries must do a better job then. I think It shows how passionate Estonian fans are.

    Järveoja definitely deserves best co-driver award imo. First year and such a good results.

    About Tänak I agree. He was definitely one of the best drivers this season but best? And he is also very popular among the fans outside of Estonia.

    I agree with you in general but I do not like the massive campaign to vote for Tänak which was organized by the estonian main media sources.

    It's the same when The Bedwetters won MTV upcoming band awards (dunno the exact award name) only because mass media hype in our country. Ofcourse later this band disappeared completely, just another hype to boost nations self awareness.
    Don't like a least bit of it...

    He tweeted this an hour before he won the award so I doubt it’s about it.


    Let’s hope it’s the news that he will contest the whole season after all!!!

    Was that all, six pieces of text, or am I not seeing the whole article?

    Fascinating if that's the whole analysis.

    It was a fair vote in all honesty but I doubt there was a single driver more deserving of the prize than Latvala this year. Tanak evolved into a genuine title contender this year, but Latvala found the consistency he never had and didn't make a single mistake until the last stage of the last rally.

    You have mentioned it, but...tbh, he rolled (ok, illness) and in Spain he broke the car himself. But i agree, great driving from him this year, also from Tänak but would have nominated the one and only person...who actually won the title. I agree with best co-driver and team.

    You can make a case for quite a few drivers this year - which is fantastic. Latvala would probably have been my fourth choice. Neuville 3rd, Ogier 2nd...

    Can't begrudge Tanak winning it at all. He broke through to take his first win, became a genuine title contender, won again and finished the year with his stock at an all-time high.

    I was lucky enough to do five rounds this year and from a spectator perspective he's my driver of the year. If you're standing at a jump or anywhere which requires a bit of commitment he's one of the guys you're looking for.
