Summary
Sami Pajari is crushing Rally Estonia, winning every stage on Friday and building a 14.7-second lead over Oliver Solberg—his best WRC performance yet. He’s in total control, dominating both gravel and asphalt, becoming the first driver since Kalle Rovanperä to win all stages of a WRC leg. Solberg, last year’s winner, is struggling with car confidence. Adrien Fourmaux and Thierry Neuville hold third and fourth but are battling car balance issues. Takamoto Katsuta’s championship dreams took a hit after a front-left tire blowout forced his retirement—no spares left. Meanwhile, Martins Sesks and Esapekka Lappi are clawing their way back up the standings in this punishing rally where even a puncture can derail a title fight.
