"the others" in job interview context are all drivers without contract. Not that easily I guess?

I'm in Hafren, have climbed up past Jn24 to 25 and it's quite foggy at the moment - maybe 150-200yds visibility.

yep, I followed him from his R2 outings in Latvia and he has massive progress since switch this year to PoloR5. I prefer him much more than Kalle.

Well done Oliver, impressive job on a demanding stage! But remember everyone, it's not reasonable to compare the times with Kalle today since Kalle can secure the title by just playing it safe whereas Oliver has nothing to lose. Hopefully we can still see these two fighting on equal machinery.

i dont ''prefere''him more,but even before GB, i had the impression that Oliver would be faster.

The hype is real. He won one stage....

Leave him alone, what he doesn't need is everyone telling him how he is next champ, like they were doing to Rovanpera for last 1,5 years.

i dont judge him by this one stage only

and i saw him drive with my own eyes at Rally Estonia

Could be that we won't yet see a true battle between Kalle and Oliver in a while, in case Kalle already goes to WRC cars next year and won't drive more this year.
