    I also think that Ott is the driver to watch in the forthcoming seasons!!!

    For such a talented young driver with exceptional speed and relatively little experience, the only way is up!!!

    He has the skills to become a top rally driver....however there are countless future champions lost in the process of becoming one, it takes a lot more than skills and unfortunatelly luck is one of the biggest factors...so we have to wait and see.

    My fellow countrymen could get too enthusiastic sometimes. Ott has the material, but like N.O.T. said it takes luck and good guidance to become champion. See we'll have to wait and see, at the moment let his driving do the talking

    If I wouldn't get enthusiastic over drivers like Tänak, I'd change sport. And if he fails to climb to the very top of the sport, I could say at least I tried. So far so good.

    He certainly has the potential to be, his performance on Rally GB was massively impressive

    He just needs to keep his head and learn all he can while using his natural ability.

    Possibly...everyone seemed to say the same of Martin though and that never worked out for various reasons. He clearly has the raw talent to be very, very good but champion is a tough call.

    We all know what happened with Martin, you never know what might have happened.
