The question is: do you believe tanak would be just as dominant in any other of the current wrc cars? Do you believe he would be just as dominant if ogier or neuville would also drive a toyota?
He might not be this dominant, but I belive he would still be the fastest guy. Season 2017 was still a learning year for him and throughout the season you could see his speed growing. Also his driving style has become a lot more neat, precise and consistent.

Yaris is definetely the fastest, but it wouldn't be without Tänak. He might be one of the best drivers for setting up cars and the driver shouldn't be underestimated for making a good setup.

I am just a bit annoyed, when the public and even WRC commentators express their opinion like the Yaris drives itself.
