Hayden Paddon

I am sure that Ogier wanted to win but he also have to think more long time then just this rally. For Ogier, too much or too aggressive attack on the final stage
might cause him to have an off or hit a rock or something. So for Ogier settling for second might be a better idea then to try to get a few extra points.

Winning the wch title isn't about winning every rally and every stage, it is about being consistent and to know when it
is appropriate to back off. Ogier was about 30 points ahead of the nearest competitor in the standings before Argentina
but he is almost 40 points ahead after Argentina.No need to risk having an off when you have such a big lead so dropping
a few points is beneficial for the greater good.

True but we have seen before that Ogier has had zero caution when it comes to the Power Stage. He's been leading the championship for almost three and a half years so it's not a new phenomenon for him. He hasn't had to adopt the conservative 'think of the championship' strategy you speak of at all. He only ever mentions it as mind games, eg. when he was fighting Loeb. There's no way he got to that close to Paddon heading into the final stage and thought, "nah I'll just finish second." He just isn't wired like that.

I said much the same at the end of Saturday - I think he then decided he could pull a huge time on the penultimate stage thinking Paddon didn't have the ability to respond after seeing his performance on the first Condor run. He miscalculated if that was the case ...but still 19 points

With Ogier & Paddon running 1st & 2nd on the road for 2 days on the next round, that will show us were things really are.

We already know where we are. Paddon started sunday with a 30 seconds gap and finished with 12. Curb your enthusiasm, we are in front of a promes, not a reality. Still long way to go but yes, in the future he could be a real treat.

Paddon himself admits this is not his best he can achieve, so we can expect battles becoming closer in near future.

HP has difficulty backing a trailer when off the long flight back to NZ from Buenos Aires. Also did through the cones.

What is a promes? I've googled it but I'm sure you do not mean anything to do with a Dutch born footballer who plays for Spartak Moscow?
