Ogier had only a moment or 2 the whole rally, while with Meeke there were bigger offs/spins.
I think You need to see this in another perspective, in regards to risk. Jari Matti Latvia also drivers a Volkswagen, drove slower than Meeke, but with a lot higher risk. Mikkelsen also had some moments, and especially one huge one that could have ended his rally. Its more about driving technique than the difference in cars.
Meeke drove a great rally, and he is adjusting his driving technique, but still has a little way to go.
