Suninen had epically bad start of the season with 4 crashes in 3 rallies, 2 of them in very first stage.
Points per rally confirm what we talked about. Sordo looks even better, but 6 out of 8 rallies he drove were with start on dry gravel with one of the best road positions.

Yeah it is factual, but you can't blindly look at that though without taking other factors into account. Hyundai drivers rotated and miss their weakest events ( sometimes for better starting position in their stronger events). For example, Mikkelsen has missed Spain and Corsica where he would've been slowest WRC car if we base it on all of his previous form in a Hyundai. Sordo missing Sweden, Finland and GB etc is the same case, doing those events would only have lowered the average pts per rally.
We've seen in past drivers like Meeke doing part season and winning events due to running at the back. Breen comes in cold in Finland and is instantly on the pace in an i20 at Hyundais weakest rally, Meeke comes back after 6/7months out and is 2nd fastest in the first stage in Monte in a new car, Evans after a bad injury wins the first real stage of rally GB and has top speed all weekend. So looking at that, rust isn't that much of a factor for WRC drivers compared to good road position/ doing only favoured events.

that you exlude his worst rallies out to compare him with a retired 45 year old driver with partial program,shows how big he has failed.
Loeb at his first 2 years had 1 world championship,and the previous year was runner up to Solberg after citroen asked him to hold for the points for the constructors championship.
There is nothing to compare mate,totally useless comparison...

If you count only Sardinia, then Sordo is World Champion..
