    Since there is a lot of talk about Tänaks future in the m-sport thread i thought i would search if there is a separate topic about him made in the past and found this old one.


    Quite an interesting read this 13 pages

    Not sure if I agree with pointing out Latvala and Lappi as great wingmen, given their form so far this year.

    Agree that if Tanak wins Sardinia he will be big favorite since Toyota+Tanak do seem like the fastest combination this year. If he doesn't close the gap soon it will be difficult though.

    At least Lappi has taken enough power stage points off Ogier and Neuville.

    Think Tänak has a decent possibility to win the three next events on the bounce, it could bring him back closer to Neuville-Ogier or even leave them behind.

    Turkey should then be interesting, given no one really has an experience advantage over another. The championship is turning out to be quite ok...

    Tanak seems the 'fastest' driver but there is more to winning a Championship than that... Meeke has shown that over recent years.

    Its about consistency and Ogier has proven that. If anyone looks like they've learned that lesson its Neuville...

    What about the cars that have technical issues (and not caused by any hit or driver errors)? Then it's called automatically for that drivers that are inconsistent. Ogier must be one lucky guy out there.

    Umh, if you think about last two seasons, then they are pretty equal with their own mistakes, that cost them a result. Then add the luck-factor, no. 1 and no.2 driver hierarchy...

    Its like with Lavala... he gets more 'bad luck' with mechanical failures.

    Even in the tank-like VW Polo he had more issues than Ogier.

    But for how long can it just be luck ? Eventually it has to seen as the driving-style or poor decision-making or even bad pacenote making...
