Kalle Rovanpera. Still 21yo. In the points lead for WRC.
At this point, a high likelihood of being this years champ, and likely more to follow.
It's the most exciting thing in WRC for years.
Interestingly, Sebastian Loeb drove the first rally of the year, having only very occasional drives since his retirement 8 years ago, and won it.
The subsequently equally dominant Sebastian Ogier is now in semi retirement, after having won 8 titles vs Loeb's 9.
I am really surprised he didn't stay full time for this year to see if he could match that!
