Perhaps Neuville has gotten used to the i20 being slow and adjusted his mindset to it....the last (& only) podium for him was back in 2013 with the last gen. Fiesta...hopefully he'll do better on the second pass.

IMO it's both that he didn't drive this changed car more than one day on a test combined with road position.

Didn't lose too much time considering..

I think roadpositions 3-6-10 have something to say. With the changes it's probably like a different car on these kind of stages. Also Neuville is the only one that didn't drive in Estonia (even though Breen had old car there).

I'd say coming into a new team, with a new car and not having driven the first half of the year in a wrc car, to be in front of his championship contender team mate is still quite impressive so far.

You're probably right.

Toyota, followed by Citroen, followed by a mix of Hyundai and M-Sport. The two strongest engines out front.

Super close though, one half spin will change the order.

Nice to see Lappi 'return' to the WRC.

Gryazin crashing in first few stages on 3rd rally in a row?

I don't think that this goes down to the engine performance. Usually the slower and more technical stages the higher influence of the engine on the overall performance and vice versa.

The two cars with the highest top speed, in that case.

Meeke wide into bank, but looks like no dmg.
