I can totally understand Thierry... No wins this season and he has driven very well here (and also Ypers) but team wise this would be a no-brainer. Although Tänak is only 15 points ahead of Thierry, taking into account how many points are still available, they should maximize Tänak's points. Also if Tänak would get closer to Kalle, there is even more pressure to perform meaning that also Toyota can't take it easy.
