They should start selling fan-sunglasses yes.
Just remember the backround of all those events. Who was slow, who was cleaning the roads like him, who crashed, and who had tech. issues/punctures. Self-inflicted or not, it shows exactly why he is the champion, especially for the fifth time, but not unbeatable.Last edited by Tarmop; 10th April 2018 at 14:03.

I kind of agree. Ogier now starting to act like it was a Polo in his hands. So all credits to the driver first, and also the Fiesta of MSport.

Argentina is coming. If Ogi wins there then he will probably win few more. But let's face it. Weakest rally for him. I don't know that for sure but I think that he does not have single win there.

After watching the highlights and check SS times, it’s hard not to agree with Eddie: Ogier is now, with the Fiesta tuned according to his driving, a step ahead of the competition…quite a shame that Loeb wasn’t able to put more pressure on his rival, but this year title fight is looking less exciting than 2017.
Still a long way to go, but Makinen, Nandan and Citroen people are probably starting to have some regrets...Rally addict since 1982

why would they have regrets now. Ogi is free as a bird at the end of the year, and asfar as I know there are only two seats sealed and that's Hyundai's Mikkelsen and Tanak in Toyota. Still 2 of each seats free, M-Sport 3 seats avaible and Citroen 2, maybe 3 (if they will stay in championship next year)

It's too late for regrets. M-Sport are clearly the best team atm.

Ogier sounds very happy with the car development and lots of upgrades are yet to go on the car, Ford is back in the mix and would probably help lifting wage raises if he demands any, Evans is a loyal number two and the Seb/Malcolm bromance is growing ever stronger.
Tanak left Ford for Toyota because he didn't wanna play second fiddle so imagine his face if Ogier showed up there. Toyota also ask their drivers to do more promo stuff which he dislikes.
Neuville, Mikkelsen and Ogier in one team? Cue the meltdown.
Citroen are too stingy to pay his wages and who knows where they're going with the car.
Last but not least, why would he leave a team that builds everything around him, listens to his wishes. He's comfy in the car, was he to change he'd have a transition period and he might not get away with it that time.
As you might guess by now, I expect him to retire at M-Sport.
2nd in the race, 4th overall. Look out for me!
