naaah, careful with that, you never know...last year a lot of people expected him to win Poland and Finland after Sardegna win but he messed up both of those.

we cant extract conclusions,even we have to admit that Tanak is maybe the most formed driver at the moment.
Rallies will be won, by the driver who will setup his car, in that way that he can trust to push at 100%
We saw Ogier at previous rally,untouchable.
At this rally he was lost.
the driver who will setup properly from stage 1 have the most chances.
trying to setup correctly the car at day 1,the rally is lost.Tanak (or whatever driver)build half minute difference,and you cant do something but to settle for 2nd/3rd etc.
Differences at cars are minimal imho performance speaking.
thats at his best.

OT:
Yes, definitely I would say more or less that maybe for the first rally in my career I never changed anything. I did a small adjustment during the shakedown, after the first run, but after this everything was exactly the same. Sometimes it was difficult to come back to Service without any complaint! It’s not an easy feeling.

They are entering four cars in order to give Paddon and Sordo equal amount of rallies this year. Of course the drivers and fans would love to have more of four car entries, but in practice, having the fourth car is just an expense and won't help the team in any way, except by the fourth driver helping their title contender by taking points off other drivers.
And he came close to messing up Sardenga (missing junction on last day), Germany (hanging in the ditch for a long stretch) and Argentina (hitting a stone, spinning and breaking the steering). All of those could have ended worse, or the Poland and Finland incidents could have been nothing. There's always an element of luck when driving on the limit.
”Kalle’s speed and analysis show unique potential. Nobody could have driven faster in a WRC2-car than Kalle did on SS17. Sadly it ended in a spectacular crash..” concludes Kalle Rovanperä’s Manager Timo Jouhki.
