Yeah, poor Lappi would have been a champion last year, if Ogier didn't roll over him, right? Lol.
Do you seriously think any of the team mates Ogier had in last 3 years had a shot at championship that was somehow screwed by Ogier? Which one and when? In m-sport Tanak and Evans have been showing the speed ocasionally, but the consistency just wasn't there, and it wasn't Ogier's fault. Tanak only became champion material in Toyota. Evans hasn't shown all that much yet either, apart from ocasional good result in a rally or two. And Lappi in Citroen? That was a complete disaster.
If anything, both Tanak and Evans probably benefited from driving alongside Ogier. Certainly for Tanak it was a year it all started turning around after his relatively long career of speedy crashes.

Not saying that it happened here, but the recent "normal" is that team orders happen already in Sweden. (Hyundai last year, Msport the year before)

In my opinion brakethrough year for Tänak was year with Dmack. He wasnt able to compete with these tyres everywhere anyway so he learned his pace and to drive his own drive with is own rythm without pushing when its unneccesery or he just isnt able to push anyway. And where there was chance, there he was quick.
And year with next to Ogier he corroborated these things even more.Last edited by Oraamat; 27th January 2020 at 07:16.

Yeah, saying it was "100G" has close to no informational value. Highest recorded (survived) was 214G in a 2003 IndyCar crash. Yet even below 10G can kill you if it's in a wrong direction over a longer period.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
