    So, what happens in the Power Stage? Can Loeb win the rally, but allow Craig to take more PS points? With less than 10 secs lead and Ogier to run after him, it seems impossible to 'stage manage' the result for M-Sport.

    No, Loeb has to go flat out if he wants the win.

    I don't think 9.5s is enough to play games. They will all do as well as they can.

    M-Sport will want Loeb to take the win. Too much of a gamble trying to let Breen take the PS, they could lose the win.

    Without a drivers championship to think of, Ogier will push like crazy. 110% win it or bin it. If he was doing the full year 2nd wouldn't feel like such a disaster

    We should all feel incredibly privileged. We're about to see Ogier and Loeb, the absolute GOATs of the sport, fighting each other with 110% of their power. On their strongest rally, their home rally.
    Things like this don't happen often.
