It's almost a draw,,,and presuming it will never rain, that is almost impossible. I think this first-on-the-road issue is starting to be overrated, it counts less on second passes, and nothing on second days 'cause of rally2.
Every rally except dry tarmac ones can be disadvantage for the first driver, and the opposite can be true for most of them, except dry gravel and loose snow events. But this is not really the problem, the problem is Ogier have problem only with this (or at least the media just blows it, just because there is nothing else to), but not to care about some serious competition, which is sad. So FIA is trying to make some competition artificially, I'm afraid the effect is the opposite, now Ogier drives better and the competition is left even further behind.
