Ok let me add my thoughts also on film, if only to torment those who cant (yet) see it themselves.
1. You MUST see it in cinema or at least from bigscreen tv with good audio system. It adds a lot to the experience when you feel those cars rumble past, not just hear from some mediocre laptop speaker. My biggest wow-moment was first seconds of the film.
2. Editors really didnt make some bland documentary, they have really tried to build suspense. They have mostly succeeded, especially considering the topic and hero (and material possible to be harvested from them). I would say this film is 4/5 stars in my scale. And i dont give 5/5 often, so 4/5 is good, really good.
3. It feels that makers probably had material for 10 part documentary series. Knowing Ott from around 2004, i know that few interesting themes were cut out entirely. Especially his early career prior to 2012, it was barely touched but there was lot of drama already in these years.
4. At around 1/3 of running time i felt that film was dragging a bit. But not much.
5. Maybe 5 minutes too much was dedicated on his early-years difficult persona and attitude. It became repetitive.
6. Rally itself was somewhat in the background. It would benefit if the viewer knew how WRC 2018 season turned out, you wouldnt learn much from the film. Ignorant viewer could benefit from completely different cut with more emphasis of 2018 rallies, showing little bit more of competitors, also early stages, building suspense, and then reaching the podium or wherever the rally ended for Ott. It felt like some rallies had less than minute dedicated to them. Maybe bit more in real time, but felt like too little time...
7. As the material is there, i would really like to see more extras, parts that didnt fit into film, maybe some 4 hour cut (split in two parts perhaps - early years and 2018 season) - i know it would be really cool for true fan.
Overall - its good film. It would be nice to hear others thoughts too.

Ott Tanak says he is conscious of avoiding taking "unnecessary risks" in #WRC title fight, following 2018 lessons and Corsica setback:

If Toyota doesn't sort out their reliability problems, why not. Elfyn has proven the pace of the Fiesta is still right up there.

I think Tanak will stay but this will allow him to put pressure on Toyota for a more reliable car and a better salary I guess.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
