M-Sport more and more splits for two independent teams, M-Sport Ogier Team with new aero, new and more expensive suspention and for M-Sport others. No setup sharing, no tips and so on... run two different specification of cars at one rally is it what M-Sport looking for? hm

Wasn't the aero a question of spare parts availability? otherwise all 3 cars would have been fitted with it.
What i can sense from this change of damper is Ogier starting to feel the pressure and seeing the title sleeping away... Going all directions now to get a faster car as he cannot beat Neuville purely on driving.

I actually think it's quite risky for M-Sport to put new aero and dampers on Ogier's car with little testing (he said so in post stage interview). More downforce in the back can upset the balance/behavior of the car and it might not be easy to quickly change rest of the car to compensate.
Might even interpret it as a sign of desperation. (Same for Neuville with new aero in GB last year)

Jari Ketomaa had very true comment tonight in Finnish TV's broadcast, finding that when other drivers are red, exhausted and somehow lost in the end of state while Tänak does not sweat at all and is always totally fresh and relaxed even while doing fastest times in tight fights - it just comes so easy from him.

Ogier getting SACHS on the car is a big deal. I'm very surprised.

Rallying is about following the route, if the route says go round a pole, you go round the pole. If you want to carve you're own path, go baja or something.
