Probably longer than most champions, but in the double Seb era many drivers never became champions at all.

Now that's also true. And Tanak is the first to break that cycle.

I think that breaking Sebastiens domination era will add little bit more "value" to this title.

Well, okay.. We have settled this thing w my wife for couple of days now and decided to watch the movie again.. Ofcourse it is thru blue-black-white glasses, but holy dmack.. Now you watch it from a totally different point of view. It just makes so much more sense and you can put all the pieces of puzzle together.. All the tragedy and bad luck.. just so devostating.
Watching it now, after the WDC.. what a journey it have been.. All the troubles, crashes, problems and negotiations w Malcolm and Markko.. It's just so awesome to see, how dreams come true, although it has been as easy as changing a clutch thru the exhaust
And on the other hand.. from Poland 16' and on.. Ogier has been much more than just a world champ.. As he said years ago.. ,,I have had few friends from WRC, but Ott is one of them''.. There is something special between those guys.

But even being fan of Tänak, I really hope, that Neuville gets his WDC one day.. Don't want him to be another Jari, who has had a very long WRC career, but sadly there were too many ,,Sebs,,
...and now Ott

There was a story with Malcolm Wilson in the Estonian media yesterday.

Some loose translations: "Ogier mostly taught him mental aspects of rallying. You don't have to win every stage and should think of the rally as a whole. I never doubted Ott's speed, but his maturing, Janika and Seb have played a big part in the title."

Malcolm knew already in 2017 that it's just a matter of time when Ott wil win the title. "I believe it may had happened already in 2018 if Ott had stayed with us at M-Sport."

Also, when Ott wanted to change his co-driver in 2016, Wilson didn't really think it was a great idea. Although he adds that he didn't disallow it either.

A lot can be speculated on forums but the tone of voice in Tanak's FB page post tells quite a bit.

At least we have our own flag on car roof. But i think he keep his number eight on the car and not changing it to number one.
