Remember that there is still 12 points to grab. Surely he will take some more out of that. Even if the rally would end right now he would still having decent lead for the last round. Having Ogier better than Tanak right now is helping him even more.

Yeah Championship is fine but still if he could turn it down a little bit he could have at least 3 more wins on tarmac.

For someone who is this fast on tarmac his strike rate is not helping his reputation.

Kaito was close to having a shitty evening.

Ogier should be still in the fight for the title for Japan, unless he has problems tomorrow and/or Neuville beats him for Super Sunday.
Neuville the only one of the top 4 who made a mistake so far, bad recce job.

Neuville's mistakes were due to too fast pacenotes. Surely he should've been erring on the side of caution with the notes (and in the conditions.)

Is there more drama to come? If Tanak has 5 points from Sunday points (is behind Neuville and Ogier realisticly, or even 4, behind Evans) and having bad PS with 0 or 1 point, Neuville is still WDC If he outscores Ogier tomorrow

Realistically, Neuville would need Tanak to retire or have problems tomorrow, while also pushing hard to beat Ogier. Which is not very realistic.

However he didn´t blame others. Just himself.

As I said previously, Abiteboul just told Tanak to consider the risk factor after Mikkelsen had gone out.
