Ogier - What can you say, masterclass.
Neuville - Probably just as good, I don't think the Hyundai is as good as the Toyota even on gravel. Unlucky he got the puncture
Taka - Good drive, picked them off as they fell and scored good points
Mcerlean - Good run, he needed it. Nearly threw it away, but ultimately, he's not quick enough.
Pajari - Unlucky, good drive and good pace.
Fourmaux - Good, in the hunt for the win until the punctures nobbled him. Wouldn't have beaten Ogier though.
Evans - Can't really say he was bad, just wasn't great either. Punctures killed any chance of a save
Sesks - Bit disappointing. Tyre management seemingly a weak point which constrained any speed he did have.
Solberg - Unlucky with early puncture, silly mistake later on day 1. He will be fine, he's going through that phase that so many young motorsport guys do after some initial good results.
Armstrong - Impressive pace, got unlucky. Looks like one of the rare ones that has stepped up to Rally1 and got better.
Sordo - Anonymous, seemed a bit disinterested...better to let Paddon drive if that's the case.
