I believe the toyota is the best car by some margin right now. Its just lappi and latvala who are not up to it. Just like mikkelsen and paddon at hyundai, or evans at msport.
I dont argue with that. But probably Tänak has improved his driving as well since last year was the first one he was really competitive. And already last year on pure speed they were equal drivers. Ogier did just fewer mistakes.

My real point was that you said that Ogier showd the Yaris can be beaten. But how did he show that?
He beat Lappi and Latvala who he has beaten on almost every rally. But he was beaten on pure speed by Tänak by a calendar until the car broke down.

So in this sense he did not show the yaris can be beaten. Kind of hard to put Tänaks radiator breaking to Ogier.
