    Kalle is pure talent and got everything working for him this year. Compare for example results from last year. It does not make others clowns.

    its just some finnish guys getting cocky now, i see it in twitter a lot

    have experienced it also during rally finland, i can say the attitude towards us changed massively when Ott dominated there previous years

    That is why Rovanperä moved to Estonia?

    Big congrats to Kalle, winning from 1st on the road on gravel. He's world champion already, championship's over.
    Toyota almost 1-2-3 and still no reliability problems I recall in 4 rounds, it shows they're lightyears ahead.
    As much as Katsuta is a nice guy, I can't feel sorry for him: he lost 3rd place to a rusty Sordo with an inferior car, and would have never been near the podium without Hyundais falling apart left and right.
    On the other hand, I'm glad for Dani's podium and that he didn't need to drop places to Neuville and Tanak. It's not like a Hyundai can win the championship anyway.

    I don't believe this excuse. With "no power" he had equal time with Thierry and lost only 3 smth sec to Rovanperä.

    Suninen messed up possible Finnish hat-trick and dominance in all classes..
    Could have had rally1, 2 and 3 victories (Pajari lead 5min40)

    And yet if you'd told me 2 years ago, hell, even last year that he'd be fighting for a podium with Dani, one of the most experienced drivers out there, I'd think you're kidding, so huge kudos to him, sure he's still not exactly there yet but he's making huge gains as the time progresses, something you can't yet say about Greensmith for instance.

    As for the championship, you could argue it's already in the bag of Toyota & Rovanperä, I think now it's just a matter of when & where they win their titles and not if, hopefully Hyundai can comeback fighting next year with 3 proper drivers & not 2 and a plus one that makes an occasional appearance, it's simply not enough against those Toyotas.
    Only you know your true potential.
