It’s a hard one to call at the moment but I think it’s between 3 drivers.

Ott Tanak is on a charge, driving a good car, maybe not the best car but a good one and is very relaxed and confident in his Yaris. Doesn’t seem to worry too much about anything, just gets on with the job!

Seb Ogier is driving a car that’s definitely not as fast as the Yaris and doesn’t handle as good but solidly reliable. I don’t recall easily when the C3 WRC last had a mechanical failure, maybe last year when Breen and Al Qassimi had the fuel issue. Ogier is picking up a good haul of points all year so far. One way or the other he is making the podium.

Thierry Neuville is blindingly fast, a ferocious competitor but I think he does be on the limit a lot more often that the other guys and potentially prone to more accidents as the year progresses. Also how reliable is the Hyundai!

I think it’s between Ogier and Tanak. If the Yaris can stay reliable Tanak will be unstoppable! But then you have Ogier, the 6 times world champion, how could you bet against him. Doesn’t like to go home empty handed. Time will tell!
