This is a golden chance for Neuville to avoid now getting in the club where the defending champion doesn’t win a rally the next season
If the positions were to stay as they are, I think Ogier would take the title by one point, but that's not factoring in Super Sunday and Super Special points tomorrow. Ogier is likely to finish ahead of Evans in both, so Evans realistically needs punctures or other calamities to fall on Ogier.
Bad luck
Who said Saudi was going to be boring... or not the best fit in the calendar. What a rally!
No matter what the final result will be tomorrow, i think this rally has been already very good for Sesks. He showed clearly that natural speed is there and that is most important thing. I really hope this rally will get him some new sponsorship deals to drive full season at M-Sport or even a real team (Hyundai, or some secret future team) might offer something. These last two days was huge for Sesks - it was go Big or go home days, and he went BIG.
Don't forget about Pajari. He did good for half the event. He is clearly right one for WRC as he will be the only finish driver in the field from next year.
Fourmaux also very very good. Neuville doesn't need that win as much as Adrien do. For Neuville it would not change nothing, but for Fourmaux probably a lot. He could become even better and more confident.
But hey, Sesks.. what a drive. I didn't expect this at all. I hope that he gets it. He needs it, the sport needs it and most importantly M-Sport needs it. What a story that would be. The "worst" car and on board youngster with not much experience/drive time winning over tank like Toyota and fragile Hyundai. Munster and McErlean, sorry guys, but he is direct replacement for Adrien.
Also mention Evans. He is absolutely nowhere, Ogier also behind pretty much... Like he never really drive slow and save tires... (he is everytime fast and still save tires).
This rally really proving again and again that managing tires is the most important thing here... Probably will won it by that one who will have the least punctures at the end. Or Ogier as usual
