well, maybe yes but i was talking more about speedwise, still i say there wasnt much between them (Tänak 8 stage wins, Neuville 7 stage wins) and Hyundai has upped massively their game on tarmac.
good pic of new rims versus old rims

Difficult to isolate the driver and car performance. Judging by Tänak's comments, he was playing it safe and not pushing max, whereas I would assume Neuville was driving 110%, leading into relatively equal times. But then again, Sordo had also a great pace.

Suninen was basically doing same times as Meeke and Latvala when they were fighting Ogier. Sure he was first on the road, but the roads were quite dusty for first cars.
Afaik Msport had close to no development on Fiesta since Corsica.

Fat head.. Sunninen said himself he has nothing to lose, only to set fast times. Meeke and Latvala where driving for 2nd and 3rd overall, a constructors championship, and neither had any room for mistake, and driving for their place in the team next year. Meeke didn't even do the event last year.

But then again, Suninen's first ever tarmac rally in a WRC car was exactly a year ago, and previously he has always been a bit down on pace.

Usually 1-2-3's are "bad" and mean that there is not that wide competition, but I think the most beautiful thing about Toyota's straight flush in Germany was that it wasn't because of that (lack of competition).

You understood correctly. Also Tommi said the rim update worked and they haven’t managed to break them in tests.

Good to see him back in a Skoda, his Octavia WRC days jumped to my mind immediately :D
