I think Katsuta will win it, he's learnt a lot from last year’s battle with Lappi & seems to be carrying his confidence with him…something we aren’t seeing atm from Evans.
WRC+ commentator confirmed that there is still some fluid seen on wheel arch and wind screen on Ott`s car,Quote:

But let’s see what happen + the Power Stage with the tyres.
Impressed by Sesks and thinking what the team could do with a proper driver..
Also a bit unimpressed with Pajari, he would be better places without the punctue for sure, but should do better times than Sesks on these stages
That’s an world champ answer from neuville for Tänak
It’s a shame we have a sh*t short power stage, this should’ve been it.
This is rallying at it´s best!!! Isn´t it??
Martin got scared there lol
Last Japanese driver to win a World Rally Championship event?
Shinozuka - Ivory Coast Bandama 1992 in the Mitsubishi VR-4 (also won the same event in 1991)
Evans fighting pretty hard - no?Quote:

Evans clearly didn’t like the hybrid years.
He is such a different driver now
My heart...Quote:

If Evans wins also power stage then he has almost 30 points lead over Tänak and Neuville in the overall standings
Imagine if they continued with the previous Yaris in 2022…Quote:

Ok, if Evans stays cool and pulls this off, I am officiallly declearing WDC 2025 as his to lose. Signs are pointing to him. And you all know how did it go last time when I used this phraze. 😀😀😀 I like Evans chances this year, and I really wish him to become WDC! It is about the time.
Amazing time by Elfyn, I didn't expect that !
Wow, what a fight! If Evans has a good PS, he will lead by almost 30 points before Safari and we all know how Safari suits Toyota.
Kalle is a big dissapointment so far tho. I expected him to be slow in Monte, but not there.
Exactly my thoughts, this was response from him like never seen before. Just fingers crossed to complete PS without problems/mistake.Quote:

Go Elfyn,seems that hybrid removal suits him.I would like to see him as WDC this year.
When it's so close you cant really control it. Evans said he didn't know how fast he was on the last one. All they can do is their best.Quote:

Even without super Sunday and ps points Evans would have quite a big lead already
And IMO it also shows how much value the win and points for it, it has this yearQuote:

That stage was a big statement for the rally and for the whole year in my opinion from Evans. He was lost whole last year, but
2 rallies show no hybrid suits him
One thing is for sure, it doesn’t suit for Kalle.Quote:

I’m really glad for THIS close competition, but I think any snow rally could achieve, this doesn’t feel like anything unique in regarding this location.
Estonian commentator claiming that they haven’t still fully fixed Tanaks problem.
I’m not so sure about that
It was confirmed in morning that wheel arches and window was still covered with cooling fluid. You cant fix a head gasket leak in rally.Quote:
