WRC Rally Italia Sardegna 2026

What if Toyota said that to keep championship exciting, all three must do all they can and Ogier to back off.
 
This PS could save Evans. On one hand, you can have Neuville and Katsuta beating him, but Fourmaux, Pajari and Solberg will be slowed down. But maybe in the second pass, conditions will be more similar for everyone?

But also it can reveal some rocks lying underneath sand, and those undestructive Hankooks...
 
Ogier is maybe rooting a bit more for Evans, so he doesn't involve into the fight, but nothing with the team orders as someone said there.

Neuville and Katsuta strong there tho, I expect them to beat Solberg in the 2nd pass also.
 
Based on this run there is a possibility that Solberg might not win PS.

Assuming next stage does not change anything for SS points outcome, Solberg takes 5pts and Evans 2pts from SS.

So what does that mean for PS? Solberg would need to take 3pts more than Elfyn to win - so beat EE on SS by three places. Is that right?

That is correct. On equal points Solberg wins tiebreaker by virtue of having more wins this season.

Toyota does not do team orders of any kind. They are known to allow drivers to decide for themselves.

Well why would you give up a win if Solberg is getting a slow puncture than ? Ogier is the biggest competitor of them all and always does everything to be just there just in case.

You seriously think that Ogier being slower than expected is a sign of team order?
