Latvala - very good, only mistake probably not his fault, would have imo won even if Loeb didn't land in snowbank
Hirvonen - good, but I was expecting him to do even better, after all this is his best rally of the year and Citroen should be better than Ford or?
Ostberg - showed that last year wasn't only due to road position, let's hope he does better on gravel raliles than last year. Has a plan to improve on tarmac.
Solberg - a bit worse than expected, without the puncture he'd most likely keep 3rd, but made 2 other mistakes (spin and stall) early as well, speedwise clearly behind the Fins
Novikov - very good, same speed as when he was crashing.. just without the crashing
Loeb - quite a disappointment, seemed to be slower than Latvala even before his first mistake, then added 2 more mistakes. While in the past he'd charge and win most stages now he "cruised" for 6th. Either he didn't had the speed, or the motivation, or both.
Sandell - was expecting him to fight with Henning
Prokop - very good, yes fast events like this suit him but still much better than a lot of people expected
Neuville - learning, well yes, but at a rather slow pace. First snow rally and first time in Sweden though... even Loeb was 17th first time in WRC in Sweden.
Tanak - moments with ok speed (around Novikov) and lot of mistakes, continues to show that experience is needed for a factory seed, raw talent isn't enough to just jump in
--------------------------------------------------------
Ogier - ok, strangely concerned that someone actually might be fast as well. One could start to wonder whether he thinks too much of himself... oh wait he said Loeb was worse than him and only good due to team orders
Mikkelsen - a bit better than expected, overall probably a bit slower than Ogier, but then again Ogier was top 3 WRC speed trough last year.
================================
As for the championship it's looking interesting
Loeb vs Latvala 1:1
Hirvonen vs Solberg 1:1

ogier: is a crybaby and a wimp. he is actually so little sympatic that i realy hope he doesn't win anything. sad, but true.
mikkelsen: equal speed with the wimp, he has shown great mature throughout whole weekend, and a great face for a manufacturer. he is someone kids can look up on, and a good ambassador for the sport. and the teamorders was clear from the start, get to finish in one part.Radioreporter @ www.radiomotor.no
