Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2017

I think that Zawada was born in England and spent most of his life there. I am not sure though.

Yes, Zawada is Polish, but he was born in London. You can read about him here:

He is a good driver, but I never thought he would be faster than the works Opel drivers!

The fact is that Kajto has nothing to prove here. He is doing enough to win a 3rd ERC title and it was up to the others to stop him which they have failed to do.

Exactly, that's what Kajto says in the interviews - no risks, no mistakes, stay on the road, keep the championship title in mind:

Unfortunately such approach gives him no future. As I said previously - likely the last season in serious rallying.
He never gave any symptom that he deserves WRC2 - such rallies like Barum are great opportunities for this and he fails.

Yes, you are right. That doesn't look very promising for the future. But on the other hand - what would you choose if you were in his position? Drive like a maniac and maybe crash on the last stage (like Lukyanuk) or drive safer and win 3 ERC titles in a row?

It's a shame but Kajto hasnt had the championship competition required for him to push for a win here.

Lukyanuk's serious accident plus Magalhaes lack of experience on some events and Bouffier's limited budget has meant a clear run for Kajto.

Someone is remembering the victims from Barcelona...

I'd say that my choice would depend on my plans for the future. If my plan would be to get WRC2 seat/contract/sponsor I would push like hell (but still wisely) to show that I deserved it.
In my plan would be to finish rallying career and become a celebrity I'd drive like Kajto.

It's sad that Kajto is the quickest polish driver at the moment (not counting Kubica) - BUT there is a hope for a new star: Aleks Zawada!
