I made a table of manufacturer points scoring drivers for this season: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...n6SgZI/pubhtml

The most interesting observation is that Lefebvre has actually been the biggest points scorer for Citroen.

It's tough to be better than Ogier or Tänak

The difference to Breen is 2 points... if Breen was nominated for points in Monte where he ended 5th in DS3 he would be some 10? Points ahead. Yes it's not possible to nominate 2016 car.

Nice chart!

Tänak so close to Ogier even with two rounds without points? Very surprising

Ogier did not score manufacturer points in Argentina for being the third best Ford. And Tänak has scored manufacturer points in all events except Poland.

Furthermore, Latvala is the only one who has scored Manufacturer points in all events. Lefebvre in all events he has started in a 2017 car. All others have a some sort of zero result.

Tanak has 20% less points than Ogier, that's not really small difference.

Lefebvre in all events he has started in a 2017 car.

Yes but in 4 out of 5 cases this was after crashing out and finishing well below 10th place. Kinda shows the beauty of manu point scoring atm.

I have the same here: http://www.autosport.cz/souteze/bodo...?id=111&sk=494

But Lefebvre had advantage in events where he was starting. And "overtake" due to big points in Poland, where Craig lost due to technical issues and Lefebvre is so high due to disaster of Toyota, retirements of Tanak and poor performance of Evans and Mikkelsen.

To be fair, he has been hampered by his tires a couple of times this year, but he did do worse than Tänak on most rounds when they were in the same car with equal tires. I am pretty sure that most of us agree that Evans is in the mid range of drivers in the championship whereas Tänak and Ogier definitely are in the top.
