Sébastien Ogier Julien Ingrassia Rally Finland 2026 co‑driver swap Vincent Landais

World Rally Championship champion Sébastien Ogier will compete in the 2026 Rally Finland with French co‑driver Julien Ingrassia.

Toyota Gazoo Racing announced the driver change through a press release and social‑media posts. Ingrassia, now active in WRC television work and leader of the World Rally Drivers Alliance, will sit beside Ogier on the Toyota Yaris Rally1 car. Ogier is fourth in the championship, 38 points behind leader Elfyn Evans, and aims to close the gap at the Jyväskylä‑based rally scheduled for the weekend of 27 – 30 July 2026.
