    Classic case of, "To finish First, first you must finish."

    It's no good being fastest if you then crash or break your car.

    There's more to rallying than pure speed. A lot more.

    Another point is that we've had a situation this year which is rather uncommon in the history of the sport when the domminant driver (by speed) is making so many mistakes that he can't take the title.
    One or more drivers can win all stages, but retire one of the days. In all rallies, theoretically oc. But very much what has happened this year with more equal conditions with cars. That gives not many more stages to win for a WDC. I think the Rally2 rules remade the statistics.

    Or makes it harder for a single driver to get stage wins because there's more stage winning drivers on the last day

    Job well done Malcolm.
    Wonder if this means Ford are going to up their stakes in the project.
    Weren't they reporting a couple of weeks ago that Tanak was definitely staying at M-Sport too? I don't put too much faith in Autosport as a source of accurate information, like most of the media they seem to be more about attention-seeking headlines than facts.

    Agree. When it can be confirmed we will know. This is just predictions out of press conference where Neuville said that guys will have some announcements in few hours, days, weeks... Evans just look Wilson and say nothing. Ogier said he have 3 options, M-Sport, Citroen & to stay at home. He will reveal that in Australia time... Wilson said he is still discus and that Evans will be okay..

    Nothing new actually...

    I didn’t see that they were reporting Tanak staying. Have you got a link?

    Yes. Why? Actually it doesn't matter for me, where they go. Mine favorites are safe and be there in 2018, so I will not be arguing about M-Sport.
