It would be better if some non-winner would leave instead of Tanak and Rovanpera. That's why we like Ogier still being around, to bring challenge, even if he play the dirty game here "not driving whole season for more free time" but actually "not driving whole season to improve his position to win a title". We need many champions, winners and fast guys to have big battles all the time... Nobody likes the dominance from one super human. That's why I'm always loud for format to shorten the stages significantly... That would bring guys to fight more, they would crash less (maybe yes, maybe it would be worse), but it would definetely bring more nail bitting times on the table and not 30 seconds better stage times for each driver who would be next.

Regarding who did the worst on Monte, we can all agree, it was all Hyundai drivers. The only one who shoed some promise was once again the newest kid, Fourmaux, but Hyundai was so bad, slow, non-responsive, many mistakes even if they have bad splits, and once again proving that all they do is to brag in the media, at least their higher stuff.

M-Sport was actually quick many times (Jon proved), but it was his first ever WRC event in a best car and first Monte. So it was awesome even if he didn't finish the rally.

Ogier it seems lost motivation already on friday or maybe thursday, but timewise he could still clinch the win, because he was not that far away. Man McErlean and Pajari, they probably were competing who will be the worst. But some guys take more time to improve. I honestly see McErlean way better than Munster. But I think he will need to finish every rally possible if he would want to stay in highest level of rallying. I think Pajari could reach Katsuta's level or even Lappi if we compare him to finish drivers, but he will never be Rovanpera. Nobody will be, well maybe Solberg? We will see.
