He gets the maximum amount of points from the Saturday classification only IF he finishes the rally.
So if Neuville finishes tomorrow, he gets 18 points + whatever he collects tomorrow. If he doesn't finish tomorrow, he gets 0.

exactly. the rally goes as always, you need to fiish to win. then, after the finish, they just count points differently, awarding some for Saturday night standings and others for Sunday. winner is still the best overall, but it is possible that he will not be the one with more points, with some particular combination of results.
I thought that it is obvious
Would have been more clear to say and explain from WRC side that Thr-Sat is leg1 and Sun leg2..
Leg1 18 points (put on hold till finishing)
Leg2 7+5p
Overall winner is still with least overall time. And there wouldn't have been such a confusion.
Im so hyped for tomorrow. It is going to be a huge battle
Looks like the position changes might work in Ogier's favour inadvertently. Theoretically a better road position. "Less" dirt, if today's form guide is to be believed.
