True but we have seen before that Ogier has had zero caution when it comes to the Power Stage. He's been leading the championship for almost three and a half years so it's not a new phenomenon for him. He hasn't had to adopt the conservative 'think of the championship' strategy you speak of at all. He only ever mentions it as mind games, eg. when he was fighting Loeb. There's no way he got to that close to Paddon heading into the final stage and thought, "nah I'll just finish second." He just isn't wired like that.
