Østberg is doing also great with it. Don’t forget that it’s his first time with the machine
Sometimes the road position is an advantage not a disadvantage though - was Ogier complaining about unfair road order at Monte when he was gaining advantage with good road position for the conditions each day and others like Breen were losing so much time? Was he complaining previous years when Sweden didn't have much snow and cars down the order were losing their studs in the gravel? Sometimes the advantage/disadvantage is predictable, sometimes not. Rallying is affected by nature and weather, its just the way it is.
Apart from Breen, the results on Torntorp were Toyotas, Hyundais, Citroens, Fords.
It's not a slow car. It's just got a narrow operating window and can take a lot of risk and aggressive driving to get the best out of it. A slow car doesn't win rallies, and Meeke has already won rallies in it don't forget...
Great to see Breen on it this morning. I'd expect a Hyundai fight back on the next few stages judging by Mikkelsen's and Paddon's comments, and if Neuville can maybe fix his hydraulic issue

Looks like Torn blocked road and all other cars forced to stop
