Sébastien Ogier is back in the spotlight, and let’s be honest, what a circus it is! The Rally Italia Sardegna unfolded like a poorly scripted soap opera, with Ogier managing to dodge disaster while Ott Tänak tried to breathe down his neck.

Just 7.9 seconds separated glory from embarrassment, proving once again that in the world of rallying, anything can happen, and often does. But let’s not kid ourselves; this is a sport where drama is the name of the game, and it doesn’t come cheap.
