    Damn the profile changed with the new stages today and Tänak doesn’t have any chance with the Hyundai which doesn’t have grip as we know

    A shame as he'd done a perfect job this weekend up to this point.

    He wasnt even going for Sunday points, so maybe he lost concentration.

    Yeah, but they are two in the car. Co-driver can either push or repeat warnings... Maybe both were thinking of the finish line. Happens now and then. Even to me back in the years...

    WRC2 has no powerstage points and super sunday points, only final classification points - from that point of view this mistake is even worse ...

But this year, Ogier has been just great so far. Maybe he particularly likes this Hankook + hybridless car.
    I'd say Ogier is made to look better than usual as it has been a weird season so far. Neuville is still in his winter break as it seems, Tänak has his usual stuff, Evans is just his usual, fast but not super fast and Rovanperä really isn't compatible with the Hancock tyres (which I honestly thought he was above such things).

    kinda like it has been the last 15 years. ogier just wins and the rest thinks of reasons why they don't.

    I always felt rovanpera has been overrated by many. he is good, among the best. but he has had the luck of a superior car and no ogier in equal machinery.
    the same for tanak, he was lucky that ogier went to citroen and not toyota in 2019.
