    Being so afraid of being beaten is pretty damn pathetic
    I can't disagree.

    I don't know what is going on in Ogiers mind regarding the title chase, but we should look at this from another perspective. We can be mad about him not driving a full season or not retiring completely, but look at the current results from this season. He still is one of the best drivers out there and in the last rallies only Tänak was able to fight with him. Toyota as a team wants results and Ogier collects points for them, he hasn't been outscored by his teammates on a regular basis and there isn't line of faster drivers are waiting for this seat. Right now it is a privilege to still watch him compete and be the benchmark for other drivers.

    Also I don't agree with Ogier messing up the drivers championship with his part-time season. He doesn't have a significant advantage anymore regarding his starting position and all the championship contenders just have to be faster than him to get good points from an event.

    Estonia is his opportunity, he doesn't need Finland too.

    Also Toyota still need Ogier based on recent results and the weaknesses of Rovanpera and Katsuta.

    And on Ogier, he's an all-time great and more than earned the right to do whatever he likes.

    Ok, just hear me out 😀, what if Ogier in fact wants to help his good friend Ott more than Elfyn? Every time Seb is driving, he is another high level competitor Elfy needs to beat. Just saying..😀

    That's just stupid. I don't have nothing against Ogier, but he is showing again and again that he is selfish and wants to win no matter what (I actually disliked him during his dominance, but now I like it that he is here, because he isn't on the same level or just others did get better = more action, more competition, more excitment - and 2 way battle isn't fun to watch, but 5 guys fighting for the title, that's something)
