On Corsica 2017 Ogier had real technical issues on Sunday that cost him 2nd place on the penultimate stage. In the regroup before PS he refused to say if they fixed it. Then on PS the car was fine and he took back 2nd place from Sordo. Did Sordo push less because of that? Impossible to say, but there could have been some doubt.
So Ogier is no stranger to mind games.
That said I believe there could have been a small issue but the effect was mainly psychological for Ogiers confidence.
He is what we call "Svorsk" and the flag is called Sildesalaten, from when Norway was under Sweden in a union, from 1814 to 1905.
