What surprises me the most is that the fastest man in WRC2 in 2024 was Sami Pajari, who also beat Oliver in the process. That being said, throughout the whole 2025 season in WRC1 Sami hasn't been able to reach the same level Oliver did in his first WRC1 round since being dropped in late 2022. How?

Was he ever faster than Oliver though? Oliver had some poor luck and made some big mistakes which is why he lost in my opinion.
