No point to talk about Hyundais :D

So what about rest of the pack? Even slower.

Tänak the only Hyundai to separate the Toyotas and give at least some kind of fight

Fourmaux surprisingly faded away

Evans gained 0.7 on Tanak and is 0.5 behind now, with the penalty. I'm really hoping he can overtake him today, but that's not an easy thing...

Struggling with the car now in this stage.

Solberg showing his class again, beating McErlean in the Puma twice.

That 2024 car works like magic.

I’m sorry but I don’t see a reason why Toyota should keep Pajari.

His season has been disappointing and I don’t see much progress at all

Because he is Finnish and if he is not in Rally1 car, then there are no fins there next year. Never gonna happen.

I think Toyota have played it right with Pajari. He hasn't been pushed too far too soon like Tanak/Evans were and had to be dropped back to WRC2. He's in a second team, not keeping another driver out. He may come good in the long term -- it's a gamble, but Toyota has the money.

I dont think so. If the regulations are written clearly and followed on every race, everybody know the punishment for the mistake. But if the rule is vague and not clear, it can be penalised by different way on different races...
