What a brilliant and clever driver, very clever indeed. He who complained so much about the regulations. And rightly so. He's realized what he missed in 24 and given the FIA ​​a nice middle finger.

One wonders if Evans, Neuville, and Fournaux wouldn't be better off not participating in the entire championship like Sébastien Ogier... or at least not winning Monte Carlo to avoid having to clear the road for their rivals.
