    And don't forget Hanninen, who was by far the fastest in 2011; but 1 bad tyre choice on the 2nd day cost him the event - and conversely Bouffier made the right choice and won.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    You are right of course, there is no such thing as luck in winning Monte Carlo but a matter of Intelligence from all team members : set up, tires, weather, pace notes, throttle, consistency.
    What happened to Bouffier, Hirvonen, Grönholm, Ogier was a better odds management.

    the top teams are not gambling, so between them there's never a real lottery. they just take tires for the most likely situation.
    but some driver further behind might take a risk and gamble on changing weather, and if his gamble works out, he can win a huge amount of time.

    The problem with Monte is to say what is gamble and what is the most likely situation? In 2011 only two top drivers took studs for the infamous snowfall and one of them thanks to that won the rally without winning a single stage (Bouffier). Did he gamble or did all the others? Who decides?

    But Mirek, that was in IRC without the best rallydrivers in the world. It's not comparable with WRC winners.

    The one who did the worst choice of all in that situation was Petter Solberg. I think You know the name
