How can you use statistics to take into account the context behind the stage times though? Ie that everyone who was on Rally2 would be under instruction to finish the rest of the rally at all costs, so naturally their pace is going to be off when they Rally2 (see Juho and Kris as good examples)... And what about the difference in tyre choice vs the correct tyre choice? I don't think you can use data unless you add in the variables that impact the validity of the data...

He just slid on the last corner almost binning it while he was having pretty good margin to Sordo.

For once I agree with NOT!
Tanak didn't know he had enough margin, the ~40s he lost to Sordo on the way up the hill probably felt like about 3 minutes and he wouldn't have known how much he was gaining or losing on the downhill - he might have known that Sordo was on much worse tyres for the snow/ice, but even if he knew that he wouldn't have known what the time difference was.
He did almost overcook it, but for all he knew the place was coming down to tenths of a second so he gave it everything.

I think he was sliding it as much as he could. He would lose traction but keep the RPM up. Running in 3 cylinders it would benefit alot from high RPM because you would have some much less torque. Also if Sordo had passed him, also Breen have had, so he would have been 5th. He was going for the 3rd place or nothing.

I was just wondering that how much more downforce and traction new aerodynamics give. What was the speed by Sordo on the last corner and Tänak? Can anyone chech from WRC+? And then someone needs to calculate the downforce :P I remember that Ott was saying that new cars offer a possibility to make big caps if you are brave. So, basically, the faster you drive, the higher is downforce.

Really? You should have said something last year about this...
Tanak talked in one of his end of stage talks about "the garbage I had last year". I think that is a bit harsh as in some conditions the DMACKS are better.
I wish Tanak all the best and enough about last year and the tyres. If anything the car let him down more.
