Ogier is lucky that Tänak made the worst decision of all time in WRC when he left Toyota and joined Hyundai. This gave him opportunity at first place to join Toyota and collect more titles.
I've been hearing this story of Hyundai leaving for like the last 6 years and they're still there. A lot of people take their wishes for granted.
He didn't have much competition because he is the GOAT. Tanak and Kalle were lucky he went to drive the shitroen, and retired for some time.
This is a gross twisting of reality. On very long straights, the cars from last year might go slightly faster, but the acceleration curve of the new cars and initial speed advantage gets them down...

No it’s just it would be nice getting some clarity like we got last June when they said they were in for 2026, some people just like assurance.
