Definitely a dramatic end to the season. I don't dislike Neuville, but I still don't see him as a deserving Champion. Still, he has led the entire season, so perhaps I need to adjust my view on him (I don't think he'll ever win another title though).

Superb push from Tanak at the end, but then a bit too much of a push Sunday morning. Must have been a few red faces among the drivers at Hyundai on Sunday afternoon as the manufacturers title slipped away from them. I think it is good for the team (and the sport) that they have taken a title though.

Good win for Evans but, considering the whole season, it was a shame not to see him closer to the sharp end throughout. Second certainly isn't anything to be sniffed at though.
I do wonder sometimes how such conclusions come to mind?

Neuville undeserving, but Tänak superb for fighting of Evans on two days and then having really good splits on a tricky stage before he binned it? Evans good for finishing second to a undeserving champion?

If Neuville and Tänak situations would be reversed we would have ten pages of Neville is useless and needs to retire?
