Ogier won the championship 8 times because he could pick his battles and sacrifice individual wins for safe point finishes. And he also won because his rivals couldn't do the same. So far it seems Rovanpera does, which can only help him in long term.

Absolutely - Kalle drove a sensible rally, especially after Friday; he showed decent pace the rest of the event, and then picked up good points in the Power stage. And extended his lead...that is how to win titles - pick up good points when you can't win. On to the next event.

Exactly the point I was trying to make earlier, and Rovanperä also knows he has some strong events for him coming after Kenya so as long as he keeps his head cool he should be fine.

Friend said that, there was an interview with Tanak to Estonian media, where he said that the team listens more to Neuville(who has been there nearly 10 years), but he(Tanak) gives his best to say his word also..

If so then.. wtf.
No wonder Hyundai and Neuville won't ever get the title.. He has only been to one team and maybe that is why he can't thinks differently..

I mean, why hire a world champion just to disregard his ideas? I mean, unlike Neuville, he actually knows how to win the title, then why not listen to him? They can only blame themselves for their misfortunes if they don’t.

Hyundai's problem is reliability, and that has nothing to do with Neuville's input. They can start listening more to Tanak and improve driveability for him, but that won't change the poor reliability. That has to be fixed elsewhere.

True, they need to take care of both things and hopefully they’ll be able to start challenging for wins on a regular basis.
