The only way for us fans to judge the team's selection is results. We don't have anything else which is clear. Unfortunately we are not able to extract particular performance influences and most importantly we don't know their engine power charts, hence why we can never know if the team selected their gearing optimally or not. That's what they need to analyse and that is their know-how for the next edition of the event.
So far Tänak is clearly leading, i.e. there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with their choices.
