It's not a nightmare. Ogier will setlle for second. He's so good at being a consistent point scorer. If you can't win, make sure you are second. It's only a loss of 7 points and Meeke is quite far behind in the points. I bet that M-Sport will ask Ogier to secure 2nd to make sure they collect as many Manufacturer points now that Tänak is out and Evans so far behind in the standings.
nightmare in the sense that both Evans and Tänak have had car problems but it seems Malcolm has made a tank for Ogier to definetly secure the championship

That first stage today will have sapped morale at Hyundai for Rally Islas Canarias. Fast, flowing and, sadly, clearly a Toyota stage.
Even allowing for strategy, Toyota is far superior on such...
Doesn’t matter. Fourmaux still lost 0.9s/km starting further up
