It not survival question. If Ogier go harder and crash it cuz overrun own limit.
If you drive C3 you never know when you have a problem even if you don't push at all. And Mikkelsen times prove that. If Mikkelsen drive C3 - time was good, if C3 drives Andreas - he has +30sec per stage.
Ogier had offs few times this year, remember?

"Signed for" are big words for them having done a deal to drive the current Stellantis Rally2 for
another season.
If Hyundai comes knocking that deal is done for sure.
I rank Rossel above Gryazin. Gryazin used to be very fast and unreliable, now he is reliable but not much faster than others.
In all those years in WRC2 Gryazin never had a real shot at title....
Must be going off to do the Historic ERC with Jari Matti then! :)
